Yeah, top stuff. I've always loved your Smiths - and I was delighted to have a go at the last bash.
And I really liked the control on your Pedulla - the Q thing.

Wow, cool stuff. I've always liked Dingwalls. And always interested to be told that there is no learning curve with the fanned frets. Looking forward to seeing more pics! Are all Dingwalls active?
