Watching your build with interest - love the look of these hollow-body basses (but beyond my skill-set to attempt one)
Moment of truth #1- neck glued into place...

Beautiful work.
Beautiful DB. What did you end up doing about the tuners? Can't wait to hear the sound demo!
cheers,
Gav.

re the tuners, I have decided to keep the originals as you see- just for the exercise of seeing how/if they work.
There is a smidge of overhang from some of the mounting plates, but I have it in mind to grind these off at a later date.
