I love this part, but at the same time I hate it. All the effort we put into making our innards looks so good, only to close them up never to me seen again

Don't worry, if your clients are like some out there, they will get out there little inspection mirror and look at the inside. You'll be happy it's that clean...trust me!

I have a customer who has a little camera he puts inside inside his guitars.

Just remember Lance the inside is for you the outside for the client.

Just to Explain my little expression I mean for the client you make the outside clean and beautiful, for yourself and your own pride you make the inside clean and beautiful.

All of the inside shots I have seen of your guitars lance are immaculate.RussellR38565.7126851852

I spy SNAKEWOOD!!!

I LOVE doing bindings with it, it's a little fussy to bend but if you take your time it just looks wonderful. I even like the way it smells when I'm cutting it (there must be something wrong with me)....

I swear Lance you have the cleanest assembly's I have ever seen....

Nice Work!!!

Great work Lance. I like looking at your braces to see what you are up to.

Really spiffy Lance. I have often thought of writing a smart alic comment inside the top in reverse mirror image writing for those folks who snoop around with mirrors.

Is that Carpathian or Red Spruce?

Just curious Lance - why do you leave your finger braces so tall? Any reasoning behind it?

Thanks Tim, its a Carpathian top, the bracing is addy. No reason behind the finger braces, Just trying to tweak this and that a little.
