Got a little ahead of things and still have cavities to create. The neck shown isn’t the neck for this body but the headstock cut is. This was a paddle headstock that needed cutting so why not give the… Read more»

@rocknroller912 yep you’ve got that right. At least when it’s cold you can put more clothes on. When it’s hot like our summers though you just can’t take enough off. Skinny-dipping is definitely a southern invention to beat the heat,… Read more»
