Fox has always thought outside the box, give him points for that.
I will be down in NC at a clinic the end of July, I'm sure this Pettaway will be there. I think Dreamguitars is done out of his house. Will report later. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Therre was a classical maker, Humphries I think, who made his neck joints like this. Called his guitar the Millenium and I recall Martin took a liscense on the design for a while but nothing came of it. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Yes, Martin classicals also have wedge shape body and raised fingerboard although not as dramatic as this one. I wonder how the hell you would ever do a neck reset on something like that? Anyway, very cool guitar.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | In another forum where Brazilian Rosewood was being discussed, it was suggested that wood with darker, straighter and tighter lines was more preferable for tone, such as the stock used in the Tak EF75J models. Nonetheless, you can't beat the beauty of the book matched panels used on the backside of this guitar. |
