Don't get used to the truss rod cover, it broke in two when I tried to drill it for the locating screw!

Love the shape of the volute and Gotoh 510 tuners

The Silver Quandong has so many colors going through it

Head stock is a little plain without a logo, but a new truss rod cover will make a difference.

That is absolutely superb Zandit75, you have both my envy and admiration. I really want to hear this now.

Thanks Dave! If the other builds are anything to go by, this guitar is going to be a cannon!!

Unfortunately you'll have to wait till tomorrow!! But thank you for the kind words!!

My body is almost at its limit, my fingers are aching, feet are killing me, my nose is so filled with sawdust I don't think I'll ever get it clear!! I'm just glad I've had no reaction to the dust, apparently it is an irritant to some people.

But, I'd never miss out on this opportunity if it becomes available again!

Even here in Wollongong at 10:00PM that was sooo good. Watching the life in the timber being released from under the sanding dist.

I know exactly what you mean. I had teases of the the quality throughout the build, especially when we wet the sides to go into the bending jig, but to see our complete and finished is just mind blowing!!

Looking really classy.

I love that cutaway, but talk me through the squared off neck heel, is that a comfort or functional feature? I don’t recall having seen one before. On most that I’ve played it still tends to be quite rounded off.

Thanks bud. The heel is purely aesthetic, and just a personal choice for this build. As with the florentine cutaway, I wanted something different from my other guitars. There are a number of brands out there with similar designs, some go to a finer point, others are even bigger.
