The natural finish is so sweet - brings back memories of my first 4001, a '79. And that's some great figuring on the neck. You're doing a great job Tom!

I used Titebond Liquid Hide Glue on the neck - I clamped for 30 hours but the 'squeeze out' still feels a little gummy - is this normal? the neck feels solid enough.

great work Tom - after 30 hours of clamping neck should be fine.
