The top is on, the back is clamped as I type. I’ll now get this and another instrument on my bench (the client is running a build thread on the AGF) into the binding stage.

I've always loved how clean your work is, but surely that rosette is printed on!!!
Where are the glue lines??!!!

But seriously though, your tolerances must be micrometer accurate!!

I’ve got good digital callipers and I know how to use them.

Well folks, as this one is a bonus in the build schedule it keeps getting side lined for priority projects.

I spent some time over the last couple weeks and got it ready to send off for finish. I’ll carve the neck while it’s away and get going on the next batch.

I tried something new with the binding, let me know what you think.

Dion, your build is lovely. I like everything about it so far. I love the rosette. I guess you could say I'm a minimalist but that is not to say that your guitar lacks anything including attention to the little details. Well done.

Thank you! I can’t wait to get it back from the finishers and share it with the forum folks. [emoji41]

Thanks for the kind words! It’s a great pleasure of mine to peel back the layers and see what one can do with less. I guess I’m a minimalist too. [emoji4]
