    Yes I think a fantastic finish worthy of GOTM.

    cheers, Mark.
    Thanks, Mark. Hopefully we can get some more guitars into GOTM.

    My GR-1SF has given me grief colour-wise, but I love it. However, seeing yours makes me love mine a little less ...

    As a poetic side-issue, notice how the model "GR-1SF" actually resembles the word, "GRIEF"!?! I expect someone else has already posted such a notion, but I had to mention it.

    Great build, DarkMark. I have Gretch-style envy now ...
    Keep at it Honkenstein, you’ll get there, but thank you.
    “Grief “ I love it. Mine gave me some grief.

    I’m lost for works. High praise. Thank you very much.

    People seem to like it or hate it. More people on Facebook like 2 over 1. Go figure .

    It is very nice indeed. Just a slight shame that you couldn't run the pickup wire internally to a jack.

    Maybe you could? Cut a socket in the side at the bottom and use a Gibson style jack-plate to fit it? You can then do all the connections with the internal lead outside the guitar before fitting it. Having the lead disappear straight down a small hole (to get connected at the jack socket) would look a lot neater than the lead dangling from the bridge.

    Thanks, Simon. I also believe it could be done. Maybe one day, but I’m not too bothered by it. Perhaps because I’ve seen Gypsy Jazz folk playing with detachable pickups sitting in the sound hole with the wire hanging out. At least I think it looks neater than that.
