Wow! Look how cool that guitar is! A show stopper! The excellent dovetail detail takes center stage, but the whole package is really cool.

Thanks Dennis, it really means a lot as it was a big challenge for me in many aspects.

There is still lots of work to be done when I get it back, complete the finish, new nut, install a jack and hook up the electronics, possibly a new fretboard if I cant get the action down enough, the list goes on...
I am going to get some pics of it on display next time I have the chance

Looks really cool Edward! Sorry I didn't get to follow this one from the start, but I haven't been around the forum much lately. Love the non-symmetrical body, it works great with the fan fret. Can't wait to see it under finish. :clap:
