Beautiful instrument! You made some great choices in woods and appointment. Looking forward to hearing it!

The size really interests me. Can these be strung with steel strings, or are they nylon only?

This instrument is nylon/flouro only. I'm not sure if Jon makes steel string parlor guitars though he has done banjos, so maybe it's possible. Worth an ask if that's what you're interested in.

I have been following Jonathan's blog since you first posted Jim. I really like his attention to detail and his in-depth descriptions.
