Wowza! @Robin That is looking really really good! Cannot wait to see that seamless neck joining. Sweeet!!
@cheesewhisk. That is a keeper! May many neck blanks be surface routed on that!
@Peebee. Kudos on the carve! Looks great. Quality building you got there. Your ducks are lining up nicely and this guitar looks like it will be so com...
