    My Lefty JM-1L

    The guitar kit arrived today. I thought of Jim Carrey in the opening scene of "Ace Ventura" when I looked at the package. Lol



    I've put a few pieces together just to get a glimpse of the future



    Oh yah.... I like it.

    I noticed two weird spots on the fretboard. Looks like a burn or a worm hole or something.

    yeah could have been a knot or an insect/worm died or ate his way through the timber. At least they are on the edges and won't affect the playability. You could fill them with superglue and a dark timber dust

    So what you are saying is if my finger is in the first fret it can instantly be on the 13th fret as well? Lol.

    In a certain school of thought, your finger exists on both the first and the thirteenth whilst simultaneously not existing on either....

    Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.

    Wow. This IS a special build when I have consider Quantum Guitar entanglement and Shrödinger's Guitar. Lol.

    So I've been trying to source the colour I'm looking to finish the body. Originally I wanted Sea Foam Green but now I'm not sure... Anyone have any luck with using Wudtone T-bird? How opaque does this finish end up being?
