145 f and room temperature. So far, I don't mind.
I am in Albany NY tonight, and on my way to the Woodstock event. Hope to seem many of you there.

Tonight I am in the Twin Gables hotel in Woodstock. Haven't stayed here before, previously staying in th Inn by the Millstream, but this is also a very pleasant place, so far. Went to the site in Bearsville this afternoon and had a beer with David Berkowitz and Baker Rorick, the promoter. Not much going on but preparation for tomorrow's wood/accessories show. Now I am heading up to Baker's recommended downtown restaurant for the economically conservative, Yum Yum, a noodle house.

Most of those bar shaped adds slip by me unnoticed, but I didn't miss yours and if I had never visited your site before I would have clicked on the visit site link. So I reckon if you are aiming at the world they seem like a good add idea without having you sound like a used car salesman. Jim

Evidence that Bruce have returned home from Woodstock to his Petaluma workshop with a drill and a screwdriver. Here is a shot of the Camatillo backstrap veneer with some Keith Robson tuners installed. Who knows, we might even see some strings soon?

Tomorrow, a guitar...
Bruce installed the tuners, roughed in the nut and saddle and is refining The gesture and proportion of a Tor-Tis pickguard profile. With a paper mock-up. Tomorrow, a guitar...

I don't yet have the case so I can't deliver. This will give me a chance to take better photos, and I hope I do. But if not, these would do:
     Talk is cheap, but this guitar is going to make the customer very happy. Thanks for following this saga, for those who have. Mind you, it's far from over. I have just glued the neck onto the Magnolia and it may even see strings before this Pernambuco goes out the door, which would make an interesting comparison. If the Magnolia is even vaguely comparable it will be highly successful.

Bruce, that guitar is just so fine. I'd say my favorite yet of all I've seen of your builds. Would sure like to hear it some day.

The "perpendicular fret" on the pernambuco appears to be the bridge! That's unusual. What has been the thinking behind that?
