Very nice, Red. Really clean installation of the rosette and all your workmanship looks top notch. Is that mahogany bracing?

I won't speak for Hesh cause he's a hard worker, but me, I just a slacker. Haven't been in the shop working on a guitar in many many months, so really I'm vicariously building through all of you guys, so with your progress, I feel like I'm doing something so I'm really telling myself to get back to work

So having said that, get in that shop and start working on MY neck and fb for pete's sake

Thanks Bill, and congrats on the sander

                                          Red

Yeah, I didn't really want the sander, but you know the wife...as soon as she saw it she started naggin' me, "Buy it, it'll come in handy." "Go ahead, you can really use one."   "Those Performax have great reputations, get in touch with the guy." "I'm sure it's a good value, and you don't have one."

Finally, when I could no long take her constant whining, I made a deal for the darn thing.

(The preceeding fantasy was brought to you by the makers of Jet, and their family of fine tools and accessories.)
