Tom, it's hard to believe that this one is moving along so fast...just like mine did. It is looking great. I am certain it will be nothing short of fantastic.

Please enjoy some pictures of the finished box. The photos are pretty much self-explanatory for you guitar aficionados. Please take note of the miter work because it looks flawless to me. The binding is Cocobolo.
