Thanks for your comments everyone! I've got the top clamped up so I can post some pictures next week that will better show the body.

Awesome looking so far. The headstock looks incredible and I love those fretmarkers on the player side of the neck. Special.

Mark,
Looking at the binding at the tailblock, it looks like you're going to do a floating tailpiece with cello gut (a la Bendetto archtop)....is that correct? The guitar looks GREAT. BTW, you probably need some practice building a lefty, so I'll be happy for you to build a lefty and send it to me, so I can check your progress....you know, for free. I'm widely known for my selflessness. Also, I love the headstock, I like the fact that it looks like the strings are straight from tuner to nut. Jimmy

Yes, that is a piece of bone to protect the body from the tail adjustment strap. And, yes it is a pretty straight run from the nut to the string posts with this headstock style. And thanks for your selfless offer to help me out by giving you a free guitar It's offers like this that afford luthiers the opulent lifestyles we lead Mark
