Now that is a bridge clamping jig! I like the swivel caul to fit in the hole (at least I think that’s what I’m seeing). Guitar is looking gorgeous.

Here's the first batch of the final photos (Oh how fun it is to photograph glossy black without getting unwaned reflections or unintentional selfies...)









Thanks for following along. More photos coming soon.

I want to give a shout out to a few sources of inspiration:

Sheldon Schwarts for the sound holes
Tom Bills for the neck/body geometry
Tyler Robbins for the truss rod cover

I'm a traditionalist through and through when playing guitar, but that guitar is so cool looking, I would have to give it a spin, and the little demo you did sounded great! Congrats on a wonderful guitar!
