Nice work there Todd, but I think you need to do a little work on your neck design.

Cheers

It's only got one peg hole! Won't make much of a strummer.
They look neat hanging on the porch though.

Looks pretty patriotic to me! Perhaps the drive-bys were wondering if it were some sort of artistic patriotic theme you had going there, given the time of year and all.

Heck, I've done this same thing before with motorcycle body pieces I was painting. But then again, around these parts, hanging motorcycle bodywork from one's carport is probably considered de rigueur.

Best,

Michael

SWMBO- Guess I don't get around much these days, as I

Guitars are lookin' great-

Have you gone after the bracing on #1 at all yet?

Best Carey

Todd- That asymmetry issue is an interesting one. I have the idea that it *might* make a difference in the sound
even if it doesn't show up in reverse-stringing.

I have to think more about it. Something there, though..

Some general purpose potting compost in there and a petunia in each soundhole (you could even do red,white and blue) and they wouldn't look strange at all!

Todd, i agree, not enough hours in a day for all that needs being done out there! I'm glad i did it all when i was 20, still got a bit of hearing and understanding capacities tho i make people repeat themselves quite a bit!
