Hey up, I'm about 80 miles further North, Glenisla direction. Welcome to the forum.

Looks even better now! Proper posh I used superglue, got coverded but it's on there now lol

That's the top carved, by hand of course. Recessed the controls too. Next up I think it'll be the binding then a lot of sanding.

I tend to cut my angle then plane it to the line before adding the fretboard or chopping the end off the neck. That way I can move the fretboard back ...
