It's getting closer and closer.....

,,,the top is mostly done. I'll probably polish once more before I glue on the neck and bridge.



Speaking of the bridge, that's done, too. I'll polish it up a little bit before I glue it on.



The bowl is textured. It's not an exact duplicate of the factory texture, but it's a close approximation.



There's a couple of minor dings on the back of the neck that I'm now ready to address. Once these are filled and leveled, I'll give the neck a quick polish, then it's time to align and glue the neck, then the bridge.

I had unbelievable luck. I was able to actually find another set of hen's teeth -- NOS Schaller 541 gold tuners. One goes onto Patch's parlor and the other goes into my stash for future use.
