perfect marriage of quack 'n' spank. the demeter mid boost is something i came to, late in life and now it's part of the recipe.

:AOK that is a sexy guit-fiddle, Matte ! a built-in midboost is a very useful tool, also and i often wonder why not more builders offer this, not more players ask for this ...
one thing in particular about that Stevens guitar : from the superficial looks of things he did the neck-joint in a similar way as Hamer with their Monaco models where there is this ledge on the cutaway side. Hamer explains this results from the way they cut the dovetail/mortise for the neck which in turn results in more contact between the body and the neck-tenon = better gluejoint, more natural sustain etc. all in all the topic of long-winded discussions about the pros and cons over on the Hamer forum. on my Monaco this ledge never posed a problem but there are those who say the opposite...
