After a great weekend at my 20th high school reunion, I got home today to dress my fret ends. After not looking at the guitar all weekend, I noticed that my fret installing technique definitely needs more work, as does my fret end dressing technique. Hopefully I'll get better at that on the next couple of builds

Still left on my punch list: Drill string-through body holes, carve neck, finish bridge, apply finish (probably wipe on poly), install electronics, install string ferrules, install tuners, fret level, make nut, install string trees, and set up.
Thanks Roger. Very cool! I like the look as well. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for sharing the process with us.


Bel isi,
