I've gotten a couple of inquiries, so I thought I would bring everyone up to speed.

As some of you know, my new cnc machine was quite late in arriving and I've been scrambling to catch up ever since.

All of the neck cutting fixtures are now finished and all of the blanks are prepared. A little more programming is all that's required for these to start getting chewed on. Hopefully the first of them will be shipping out around the middle of next week.

I'd like to thank everyone for their patience, and while you're waiting, how about a rousing game of "which one's mine"?

Thanks for the update, John. They sure look nice and neat. I'm looking forward to seeing the final product.

Ok where is my other neck then???? Single rosewood laminate. That is the only one critical to me right now. I have sold for my current build? I left it up to you as to what thickness on the Rosewood to use to best fit you useage, so I was guessing.

Yo are right on the maple/irw/maple .25/.09/.25 I for got

Um, there doesn't happen to be two for Bill sitting somewhere else on another table, does there?

Mine looks like the one Don "outed", first column, third down.

No panicking, please!!!!   

I have spreadsheets and checklists and printouts and notes up the whazoo. Everybody's in that pile, unless you're one of those guys that squeaked through in the last week or so, in which case you're in the recently re-sawed pile on you're way to the glue-up pile (Anthony).

Bear in mind that each one of those blanks is two necks and a lot of you ordered either 1 neck, or 3 necks, so two guys may be served by one blank, and there are about 20 leftovers.

If anyone wants to double-check their order with me for any reason, I'm more than happy to go over it with you.
