Very knowledgeable and builds great looking instruments, too.

I see he has a neckless M1 for sale. Maybe he could customize a neck with shorter string length for you...

Shortening the neck could push the note down into the body making the upper notes near the heel harder to reach. This is usually not a good idea unless the neck is an Eb or more already.
