    Very classic & clean design OP, I definitely dig it! The only thing I'd like to see is some internal weights to tighten up the sound some. Wouldn't even mind zinc weights to just add some extra mass to help dull out the higher pitches while still keeping the price reasonable at your 50 MOQ.

    Very nice. Will the 6u spacebar support be center, off-center or both?
