    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 know right? I have a EXA-1 that is still going after a year and an SV-1 not far off that either! I envy folks that can get thing done that fast!

    Body and neck done - looking forward to getting stuck into the fingerboard today and then neck glueing!

    Well the neck is on and I've put the machine heads on to try and align the bridge. Every stage is getting a little high pressure now - bit worried about getting the bridge on aligned and the right distance!

    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.
