Ambitious! Congratulations.

It wouldn't be right to not credit the people that have been so essential in this endeavor . The build was/is being done under the instruction of John Hall @ Blues Creek Guitars & the finishing under the eyes and hands of Dale Bartholomew . I have a 12 fret 0 slothead planned for #2 . I also wish to thank the trees that I harvested for the wonderful wood in this project except for the German Spruce top , which I had no hand in harvesting . I have learned so much in this process .

She needs a small amount of tweaking , but is basically completed .

That's beautiful! The trim is unique and tasteful, and I'm always a sucker for pyramid bridges.

Oops....you cut the saddle slot in the wrong direction :bonk.

I'll give you three thumbs up on that beauty. Congrats. :bow
