Do you guys know about the adjustable for intonation and string height guitar nut?

Pretty sure I've seen stuff like that before. Makes sense. Must either suck tone or be cost prohibitive.

Check out his luthiery on TGP.

Cool!

It have two of his guitars. Hadn't responded as I haven't had a chance to load pictures and I've been here long enough to know you don't just post about guitars without pictures.

I still haven't had time for the pics, but here's a link to his site with galleries:

I bought #72 from him on eBay. Right before Christmas, I saw the owner of #71 listed it on Reverb. Since I'd been an incredibly good boy all year, I bought it for me.

The fretless is a major challenge, but I'm already doing better than I expected. If it doesn't work out, I'll try to sell it to one of you "musicians" - I'm just a guitar player....

#72 is a cool guitar. #71 is spectacular - in fact, I'd probably look into getting it fretted before selling it. He does really nice work.

He still has a few listed on eBay and there's one for sale on Reverb.

I was tempted to buy his #92 guitar - re-listed on eBay, but I'm talking with him about a custom. Something between #85 and #92, but I haven't settled on exactly where.

Since only the fretless has his special nut, I can't really comment on impact to tone/sustain - not a whole lot of sustain on any fretless, but then that's what the Sustainiac is for.

I'll try to post some pics for posterity....
