Hi Steve, in the business world they call it continuing improvement or pursuit of excellence, and yes, each subsequent build generally becomes easier than the first through the new lessons learned along they way. Seriously addictive hobby this guitar building.

Nothing worth watching on TV so might as well do something useful and build another guitar.....at least that is my excuse.

jaw... hits... floor...

That's a cracker Mick!

Astonishing build!

every time I say to myself I bet I know who's gonna win this....another stunner pops in. I am glad I'm not a judge.

That is so cool!!!!! Weathering isnt as easy as it looks to...

Very very nice zeromick! That's some great attention to detail that went into the finishing. Is that a faux finish or some sort of oxidizing paint?
