Rad, I'm a bit fan of clever headstock logos and metal work- Edit- whoops just saw its celluloid. Still looks great. It took me many, many goes to get the Black Cherry Headstock right so don't feel bad

Re the amount of builds, I do have a big advantage having a workshop and tools and I also work from home...in that workshop, so if things are quiet in my day job I can wonder over and tinker on the build table.

Compared to building cars (my previous hobby) these are so much easier to work on and finish off.
