Thanks @boo I can see small swirly scratches shining through the lacquer when I turn it in the sunhine, I don't know if these would polish out or no...

I like how you have shaped the neck heel to the body Thanks @russ it didn't start off quite as close as that, but by the time I sanded out saw c...

That's impressive work @bpower, looking good. I'm planning on building an acoustic but I don't think I'm ready yet. I'll maybe build just one more ele...

That's my build #002 almost finished now, just needs a wee tweek of the truss rod and the string heights set. This one was a kit from @markbailey and ...

@jamesonguitar Welcome to the group, I'll be watching with interest as I intend to build an acoustic at some point, also by following Mark's course....

@Wayne_F Then I'll throw a new blade on there and split the blank. Wish me luck just in case. You don't neex any luck, you've got all you need...
