I sort of like the idea of living a narrowboat, just not on the water. Is humidity an issue with guitars on boats?
what hosting is it ? perhaps its a user / access issue ?
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
The last time I was on the water was nearly twenty years ago with the Mrs on the Oxford canal.

Sorry for derailing the thread!

I lived on a houseboat on the Thames at Richmond for a while, a long time ago. It was a converted barge, so not particularly narrow. My grandmother said that the sea was in our family's blood - my grandfather had been in the Merchant Navy. No other seafarers in our family, other than maybe some 17th century wreckers. I've never been tempted to sea since then.
Back to the dreary world of guitars!
It is comfortable for most things I play occasionally I do wish there were an extra 2 frets where it meets the body but that's only occasionally.
I have a catchily named Martin 000X1SAE. It's a sapele top and HPL back and sides. I love it. The neck and body size are perfect. I prefer the sound of my HD-28, but I actually play the 000X1SAE more to be honest.
Cole Clark are known for their plugged-in sound and quality as an amplified stage guitar, and also known for using a lot of CNC in their build process. Their handful of one-off instruments (like this one) show evidence of a lot of care and attention to detail. It is by no means a loud guitar and when you first pick it up (especially if you have just put down something else) the first thing you notice is how trebly it is. Then you notice the feel. Finally you realise that - rather like a good Tele on the bridge pickup - it might be super trebly but you can hear every note on every string and they are all in balance.
It's three years old now and very gradually opening up and getting louder and richer.
The tuners are simply a fancy model of Grover. They work just fine but look a little naff (in my opinion) and the gold plating is wearing off.
