After a lot of trial and error, Jim and Chihoe came up with the Model C , which sells for just shy of $1,500.00US, which, BTW, is less than Fender's "American Vintage 50's Telecaster." They succeeded spectacularly.
Here it is!

It plays and sounds even better than it looks. It rings like an orchestra bell. The top loaded bridge gives the strings (.10-.46) a pliable feel and an expressiveness that, after playing it all afternoon, evening, and this morning, seems unique to this guitar.
Oh, and it smells like a pine forest and you can feel the wood against your skin; it becomes part of you.
And yes, I'll made a video demo, right after I dig out my OktavaMod mic and DWS interface.
