Worth noting that Casimi are based in Cape Town and have some great looking original designs: http://www.casimiguitars.com/

Of all the local luthiers, the Casimi designs are the nicest to my eye, and if I had the dosh spare, I would definitely be knocking on their door first....

Alas, that is but a mere distant dream.... But its a nice dream to have!

I will be following this build closely!

Cheers
G!

'Flowing the linings'

something about this guitar..

I am a fingerstyle player, so this guitar is built for that purpose.We decided on a slimmer body , because I play
plugged in a lot and with a very low action.The body depth at the tail is pretty much the same as a traditional OM
not a deep bodied one.

Blocks and linings during the radius process.
