14 frets to the body. Second guitar will be Coco/ADI. We may do a baritone. I am still thinking it over. It is a year away yet - so we have some time on that one.

That's a great looking peghead veneer. It will be an eye-catcher.

Got a bunch of new pics from Joel today. Mine is now the primary build in his shop, so there will be a lot more progress in the next few weeks.

Laird,
Off to the races! I remember when Joel hit this point with my guitar. He just kept going and going. Every couple of days it seemed, was a new batch of pictures. This is getting very exciting. I'm happy for you. It gets the juices flowing to start my next build with Joel(in a year and a half  ). Keep those pictures coming, I'm always interested in one of Joel's builds. And as an extra added bonus, his guitars sound fantastic!
