Sound port reinforcement parts. I like the addition of the black liner as it will show up when the hole is cut and filed and give a more finished look.

I can't wait to see this guitar with a finish on it, I have some Honduran RW with the same color I've been waiting to use. Looking good.

Late to the party...
Wow Tom!
I am late to chime in here, but, This is going to be a beauty. Ben's videos are very cool and the guitars sound fantastic. What an interesting and enthusiastic guy he seems to be! And his playing is GREAT. Way to go Ben! And I am another HRW fan. My two HRW JKs sound as good as any Rosewood guitars I have played. This is going to be a stunner. Enjoy it! Cheers Paul

Ben has to do something I guess while waiting for glue to dry, so he started working on the neck and the headstock:
