    Sweet…
    I like the simplicity of the one on the left.
    It is very clean and no nonsense, which I like.
    The two point one is very cool too.
    The one on the right is very nice and sort of elegant.
    The wood on the backs of all of them are beautiful.
    Well done all 'round.

    Bill,

    Great Work!

    I was getting ready to ask you some tremendously insightful questions about your apparent design differences with your C# model. Was it a shorter scale length? Smaller body? Neck join at the 10th fret? What were the driving acoustical principles behind the smaller instrument?

    Then it finally hit me - shorter coffee cup!

    Must - resist - oval - C#. Just beautiful.

    I have an Old Wave C# with cat's eye sound holes, and it is awesome! As is the OW F-4.
