@electricstringtheorygmail-com Thanks for the positive response. I would suggest measuring the distance of the top, middle and bottom bouts from the centre line, so that although it’s not a symmetrica...

I’ll continue with this bandsman build today. I love how dark Ebony goes when lemon oil is applied. I put some on the fretboard offcut to show the difference, I can’t wait for the time when I can appl...

Thamks Mark. I think I'll need need plenty of help
