3 7/8 tail block, 2 15/16 neck block it was a bit deeper 4 and 3 1/8 but if you remember I had to pull the back off because I was having brace joint issues back a month or so ago. found the culprit to be bad titebond. I hide glued the new back and braces.

Michael that is a very pretty guitar, I particularly like the way all of the woods come from the same colour palette, it makes it all hang together as if meant to be. Now, don't over finish it.

KTM9 is the finish and this is a CNC neck. When I decided to cut down the neck and tail block to change from a lefthand cutaway to a righthand cutaway I decided not to use a hand carved neck. because I figured this would end up as a hang around the shop guitar. So I was not going to put the time in on a carved neck. But it sold anyway MichaelP38869.6095833333
