Interesting.... Wonder what it sounds like? Can't be as good as the deeper bowls or the classical bracing they use on the artists & classicals?
I'd say something about looking like the bastard child of *@^#(&*@^*(1 & Beealzeebub but I am sure most of you already thought of that when you saw it.

Cliff what do yo think?

I just noticed this too.

I was going to post it but,you beat me to it.

I wonder what the width is at the nut?

Not sure how it would sound unplugged.

Plugged in I'm sure it would sound good.

Don't think I'll bid on this one.

I've been watching all the Country Artist's that have been showing up.

Not sure about this one.

The crack is by the neck and I'n not sure if there would be problems with it.

If I did not already have a 1624 it would get my bid. These guitars sound sweet when amplified. A mint CA will be pricey. If you can live with cracks it might be a good deal. I doubt the imperfections would adversely impact the sound.

Like Randy said, it's an interesting piece to look at, but wonder what it sounds like? I'm not sure the multi-soundhole design would work very well with nylon strings, but having never heard one, who knows.

It's probably not bad sounding but the 1624 would sound better acoustically. Still would be a cool guitar to have.
