Yummy... Sounds like it will be an Axe that you are always going to rely on

Really looking forward to seeing the finished build. If I was a guitar player I'd be building one of these myself.

Good luck Tigertune!

Finally got going on this project after a couple of hiccups,I discovered that the saddle part of the bridge was missing,very quickly fixed by the guys.About the second time I took the neck out of the box the nut fell off,easily fixed.I have been doing a lot of research into how I want this guitar to look.I've decided that I want a clearly defined bevel around the outside edge,so that means sanding,I used a few different houshold items for curved sanding blocks,hpoefully the photos show it.I was going to Wudtone but now i'm only using it on the face of the body and doing the rest black with a clearcote over the whole thing.I know I'm not going to get the accoustic benefits,but I dont think this will be the guitar for love songs.

looking great, I also like the way you "re-defined" the edge.think it will make it stand out nicely
