Got the email notification awhile ago and it sparked my interest and for some reason thought it was from Eric- glad I found the thread.
Just thought I’d let you know that Bruce has had one in the works for some time, but hasn’t been able to get back to it (body/neck are done-separate right now). Sorry to be so cryptic, but he hasn’t wanted to post pictures/info because he said no one would understand it : ) and he hasn’t had the time to get into it again.
It is a special biscuit cone, round neck that will have 8 strings. Let me know if you are really interested right now and we can go into more detail. Best to email me directly as we have people on vacation and I haven't had much time to visit/post. mary@soundtoearth.com
thanks!

Thanks for your interest what I am looking for is beard cone with a spider bridge but the most important thing is I am from Cornwall UK so any Luthier I contact would have to be in the UK I think it matters a lot that if you are having an instrument mad you can meet the person who is making it so it really does have to be from the UK
