Thanks for the input John! Makes sense. But I think I prefer Josh's explanation

Thanks guys! I really am quite lucky to get to own Joel's instruments

And wow, looks like it's ready to head to the finisher soon! Then there will be the pain of waiting

@jji I'm guessing that Joel's using rocklite for the fretboard?
