Hi Wade,
What an interesting, fascinating build thread! Being a Gibson AJ owner myself, and knowing the story behind your current Gibson AJ, I find this KJ build thread to be quite intriguing. The photos so far are great.
What a treat! I will be interested to see what this sunburst is going to look like and the binding will be an interesting touch, whatever it becomes.
I also like your approach of going for the best tonal quality in the wood regardless of the visual issues. First, I think the black walnut you have chosen is going to be very good looking, but even if it were more bland (and how can black walnut ever look bland?), I'd still go for tone over looks.
I wonder what this is going to sound like? I might have to plan a trip up to see my younger sister in Eagle River one of these days and run over to meet you and hear this guitar for myself. Boy, that would be a trip to remember!
Regards, Glenn
