There's still some work to be done. The LR Baggs Lyric has to be installed, the fret board and bridge has to be blacked, and the action set to my liking, but the bridge is on and she's been strung up for the first time. I opted for the straight bridge because I thought there was enough going on for the eyes already and I thought a pyramid bridge wasn't really aesthetically necessary. I went with the smaller traditional pearl fret markers for the same reason.


Another look at the gorgeous bastogne walnut.


The headstock with Waverly tuners installed.

This nasty stretch of cold weather is delaying the shipment of my new guitar.

Lovely guitar, Jim! The woods are stunning, and that rosette works so well. I especially like the way the color of the neck complements the walnut, it's subtle but looks so right.

Just out of curiosity, got any pics of your parlor?

Thanks gents. I'm definitely in "very excited" mode and hoping this cold stretch snaps soon so I can get my hands on this baby. In the meantime, Adam teased me with a couple of new pictures today.

Deft, when I get some time, I'll throw some pics of my parlor on the build thread. The old pics aren't appearing because of Photobucket's new rules. I'll let you know when I update that thread.

The cold spell finally broke and my new guitar is on her way to me.
