Oh yeah, no problem, I did not think you were implying anything, sorry if you thought I did. I was just building off what you said. You can like one over the other, that is fine, that is what makes it all good hahaha!!!! Besides, you said you would take them both to the island!!!!

Here is a series of pictures routing the body and fitting the neck: I think it is all self explanatory I hope.

I thought someone would ask about the construction of the neck and how it is being joined to the body. I have seen a lot of builds and this is a different method than I have seen employed before. It is a very strong construct and is bolted in more than the usual places. Ben also let me know he is using titanium hardware for this for the first time which is cutting down the weight by about 37 grams.

More pictures of the neck, this time final fitting. Ben does a smooth transition from the cutaway to the heel with little to no reveal, looks like he nailed it:

That mahogany really makes a great match with the rosewood!
Love the seamless transition...
