Yes.

I'm not entirely crazy about the model name but I suppose it's what you do with it that counts.

That guitar is looking lovely
But what caught my attention there was that awesome adjustable mould.
Very smart Mr Hatcher
There is an amateur hobbyist, in Cape Town, South Africa (that's me) who has just had one of his workshop/storage space problems solved

I'll second that! Hey Mark, can you shed some light on that lovely jig? How long does it take to set it from one model to the other?

The f-holes, the soundport, the wood choices...all beautiful!

Wow! This guitar looks amazing.

Hi Murray,

It just takes minutes to reset the jig to a different profile. If you decide to make your own drop me a PM and I'll be happy to share some tips.

Thanks,
Mark
