That looks really good to me when I got used to looking at it. Very organic. Doesn't look like the claw has a lot of room for extra tension. Oh well, that's what extra springs are for. Wondering what the nut is made of...?

I like these Spalt guitars, but I think if it had a slightly more focused/pointy headstock that would make them truly beautiful, IMHO the headstock shape just kinda messes with the flow of the design.

Expensive? Yes. Though, I don't believe stupidly so. There are plenty of builders who make far more conventional instruments and charge significantly more.

Spalts of all type are far from cheap though.

Sign me up for a hardtail! I'm really digging this, maybe I've been looking at 7 string jazz boxes for too long and this is crying out to me because it's so modern haha. I'd definitely play one.

I love the minimalist approach to the headstock (EDIT: the whole thing really), it reminds me of the neck joints on Ken Parker's new stuff

Got to say I don't feel much appeal to it aesthetically at all, but I can absolutely appreciate the balls-out utilitarian construction. Everything's placed perfectly and it does admittedly have some major class.

Gorgeous. I love the form, and the flow of the design. I've been wanting something more modern than the same takes on 60+ year old designs.

If you're going to 'like' my posts, give me some rep instead.
