Today’s progress pic. I cut the M and T... glued on the fingerboard and rough shaped the neck

I have a few adjustments to make side to side as I need to lean it to the right a little, but I don’t think it will be a huge deal (famous last words)

If you happen to notice the x brave is more Visible from the sound hole than normal.
It is forward shifted a bit and the SH is a little oversized on the one

Looks great! I like the back & side binding combo. What kind of finish did you use?

Today I got strings on!
I still need to intonation the saddle a little on the B, fit the pins exactly and finalize the shape of the saddle corners and shave off the extra nut material after cutting the slots!
Almost there! Sounds nice.
Let’s see
How she changes over the next few weeks .
Hopefully it doesn’t implode!

Ah Snow!

You've been a good boy this year!

Everything worked out nicely. I like build threads that are more transparent. Showing them after the fact is safe. Most shy away from that.

Like you, I'd agree that the dark tuners with the wooden knobs look great. I like the simple S too. Nice brand.

Nice job.
Ken
