    Wow - that is so cool. I'll have to find out if there's one near me!! And looking forward to the build - I'm guessing the "semi" part means you'll grab a neck rather than make one? Certainly makes it a lot simpler in my mind. I've built a couple of necks but never enjoyed the process the same way I enjoy the rest of the build.
    Completed Builds: #1 TL-1 "Telemaster" (GOTM Oct 2016); #2 The "Maplecaster" scratch build; #3 JB-4 "Bass IV" (co-winner GOTM Jan 2017); #4 ST-1M "Surfcaster" (GOTM Apr 2017), #5 JZA-1 "EC Deluxe"

    They can be nerve wracking. It's the maintaining of flatness and squareness that always gives me the heeby jeebies. I'm fine with the laminating and the routing and even the scarf joints but the squareness and reducing the thicknesses causes palpitations.
