Ok. Cured enough for this cowboy. I have started the final assembly which so far is going very well. I put a few random old strings on here just to check the intonation, neck straightness, and all that jazz. I can get a decent action if I put the bridge pretty low. Maybe the neck angle isnt perfect, but the intonation is dead perfect and the action is good enough. Its not difficult to play, but I was hoping for lower in the higher register. I will tweak it some more.
Since it seems like it is going to play well enough, I went ahead and ordered a case from some Chinese factory. Here in Mexico any guitar case is very expensive. I can get one custom made and delivered for 150 US. And since it is custom, I can choose the colors so I chose my favorites. Brown on the outside and pink on the inside.
What-s holding me up now is the completion of the plastic bits being made into granedillo wood by a carpenter buddy who lives right down the lane. The pick guard is almost perfect, just need to shave a bit off around where the pups go The the jack plate and truss rod cover are coming soon out of the same wood. I figure by my next show I will be flying high on this here flying V.
