Ah congratulations @cheesewhisk, I’m so glad that you’re thrilled with your first build! It came out looking great and nobody else has that headstock, fantastic job!

@cheesewhisk someone bought me a set of these after I drilled through on another non guitar project courtesy of slipping flag, use them for any job on nice wood if a hand drill is involved! https://www.axminstertools.com/axminster-8-piece-drill-stop-collar-guide-set-507150

Acoustic Bliss seems to have been one of those guitar secrets, you know the ones that don’t exist cause we all share everything.
