Great build DAVID

Smile All this and a bevel coming...

I spy the lining for a comfort bevel! Comfort is good, and so is one's arm off the top!

Beautiful stuff, both the work and the wood!!!

Thanks for sharing

Cheers

Paul

Looking at that set of Coco gave me a pleasant flashback to the Art Overholzer book. Did you read that interesting work? He would soak his rosewood in vats of Acetone to remove all the resins before building. (!) I can only imagine the amount of oils coming off that set of yours!

Hey Steve ... I remember reading the Overholtzer book many times when it first came out. I was tough getting info back then ... very few books and no internet!

This guitar is looking fantastic David, I almost always love Coco. (except sanding it) If you don't mind me asking, what wood do you use for the laminate lining?
