My first proper carve, fretting and fitting of inlays / side dots. On the whole it went well, no major issues, all due to Marks excellent course!

@peebee Looking good there, it’s good to see you enjoying it all. 👍

At last some progress today. Decorating had taken over but that is done now so back to the geet.

Well done @peebee looks great. I always think it’s the best part of the build for giving you the most satisfaction. It looks spot on especially for you first one. 

I have too many guitars...said no one in the world..ever!

@Clinton, thanks for the reply and the offer, that would be kind....but don't bust a gut if you cannot find it.

Nice work on your guitar there and the templates and plans for the Les Paul look in order, well done.

Thanks Again.

Give up the news folks, it’s liberating!

Got the control cavity cover routed and fitted. Just before I made the neck pocket too wide!

@peebee It’s a common mistake, I’ve done it a lot.
