Thanks Fred, come on down and give it a workout! :D

Thanks Glen, that's something I need to try. I've got a little Canon Power Shot A630 that does videos also, just haven't tried it yet. More things to learn, take a video, upload to youtube, post here. It never ends! :lol:

Just one more picture here of the headstock edge.

Now to conquer more technological hills, :D

And the side shot of the headstock looks very nice.

Lovely Guitar Joe. The beauty of the wood shines through perfectly. Elegant, shimmering simplicity.

Wow Joe, that really is a 'great' looking guitar. The wood combination is very tasteful and the fit and finish first class, a very polished result all round. Big mistake for the original customer to walk away from this one, its schweeeeet. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thanks for the kind words guys! Keeps me going.

And of course the phone booth works Glen, it just pisses me off everytime I come out wearing tights and a cape!

One last shot....

It's a dread, you know it had to have a pick-guard. :D

I guess I have had my head stuck somewhere but I missed this whole build! I really, really, really, like this build. Where can I get a set of the plans you used? The guitar looks fifty years old, it a good way! Very nice.
