A cack-hander :lol: Nice job Rod, looks very tidy.What laminates are in the neck? & while I'm bugging you with questions :lol: What plans for the finish, just clear or maybe you're planning a burst?

Hey Nicko and Allen, thanks for the comments, yes Nick i thought i would have a go at a red burst, i think that'll go well with the cherry, i've just ordered some nitro and colour from Durobond, very aprehensive now this to me is the most scary part of building a guitar, hope i don't stuff it up.
Allen, it's got x bracing on the belly but with a high intersection on the braces and pivoting on the bridge posts.
Cheers Rod.
