Joe, are you going to ramp those slots? I.e. give your strings a path to those posts after they leave the nut?

Yeah, I re-shaped the heel a couple of days after those shots were taken and just happened to notice I had missed that step. That's seems to be just how it goes around here...…… flying by the seat of my pants...….. thanks for the reminder though, I would hate to have not "discovered" that until I was stringing it up!

Lookin' beautiful, Joe!
The guitar too!
Hey, I've sat in that chair, and I've thumped that guitar body! (sounds drummy!)
She really is elegant and understated, Joe.

Damn, Brother Joe - That’s just plain sexy. Too bad she can’t make the trip north...

Went ahead and put this together in the white. Gives me a chance to discover any problems and fix them before doing the finish work...….

Got the neck angle adjusted, fine tuned the frets, nut and saddle slots, and also discovered a couple of back braces that needed re-gluing. Got it back together and the good news is, it's sounding and playing good. Looks like it's gonna' make a low-tuned 12 after all.
I'll leave it together for a few days and play the hell out of it to see if any other problems show up...….. give it a chance to realize it's a guitar!

I had no doubts, but congrats for ticking the 2 most important of the 3 checkboxes. (I already knew it was beautiful, the third checkbox.)
I just wish you were making a batch of 12.
