I am loving this guitar! Those tuners look vintage. Are they, or are they new made with that look? The tint of the finish is very cool too. Can't to see it with strings.
Cheers!

Thanks guys! And yep, those are the "golden age" tuners from stew-mac.
And the finish is working good on this one, drying fine.

Joe,

Great work and I loved the save on the neck. I like the others am really interested in the sound of this guitar. You put a lot of work into modifying that top bracing and it will be interesting to hear it.

I also love the look of the paduak with that initial finish on it.

Keep her going!!!

Tom
:D :D :D
