Well, mistakes do happen and far from perfect

Thanks for documenting your errors and how you've overcame them. Despite the mishaps, your guitar looks stunning and your save on the back of the headstock looks so good.

The other mistakes when I was carving the neck, I scuffed the heel block pretty good with the rasp. I sanded it off but left an angle and upon gluing the neck left a tiny gap on the bottom of the glue line. Not bad but annoyed me, I covered it up with a piece of Walnut veneer and was just enough to hide the gap. Turned out nice and made it match the back of tge headstock as if it was meant to be.

 The other mistakes is that I rounded the upper horn of the body too much and had no flat spot at all for the strap button. Unattachable and since the guitar has been finished already, did not want to resand just for the flat spot, instead I placed the strap button at the back which I do in all my builds anyways but The Bandsman has a small body for that. Kinda strange at first but not too bad to get used to. Now however, the Koa neck dives. Minor. Lastly my 3 way switch is placed too close to the strumming area. Takes a little getting used to but not bad. Lastly measure twice and cut once. My bridge holes were 1.5 mm off center and just enough for the strings to be off kilter. Plugged it up and re drilled.

I’ll plan something like this on a future attempt. 

You won't be alone @boo - @clinton has set a high standard ...
