I ordered it with a pearl head, a pickup, two strap studs and planet pegs - I’ve only been strumming for a couple of years and hope it is not too much for me. Do you think I’ve got the spec right?

The waist on the LHS is higher than on the RHS. Perhaps 'sloping shoulder' would be a more accurate.description of the type 2? Sounds great; though. FWIW, I don't like the asymmetry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
