I use the Weld On for that stuff, and I dig it too, Joe - Still got a bunch of strips of the Martin faux-ti-shell...

I just caught up on your build Joe and it looks great!

Inspires me to get back at my two guitars in progress. Nice work!

This guitar is finally done...….
And I used Behlen's Qualasole for the finish following jackdamico's post thread in the finishing section of the forum. Very impressed, quick and easy.

And here it is.

Very nice Joe, wish I could see it in action. Did you use ladder bracing on this one also?

good job Joe, I look forward to picking it at String fest
Years ago I started out with nothing, and now I still have most of it left.

Way to go, Joe!

Can't wait to hear her, covered in barbecue sauce, beer, and DEET. :lol:

Joe - looks great! Nice to see TM white spruce getting out in the world :-) Do you make the tailpieces? That looks like a specialty in and of itself.

Look forward to hearing it too.
