Are the drill holes in the neck block to reduce weight?

Burton might have a termite problem in the shop

Very artful termites they be, too.

Ha! Yes- to reduce weight. The middle section that is solid will be milled out for the fingerboard extension that fits into the block as well. The tongues are both still slightly long too ad will be fit snugly to the first braces.
Trying to get things as light as possible. Since this is the first I am doing I am sure I am overbuilding a bit but I won't be sure until I feel it all strung up. It really is a tiny box

I jammed out on my LeGeyt for a few hours over the weekend, I couldn't be more impressed! The top is starting to change color and get a bit aged, and tone is getter more warm and sweetr... she sounded incredible 1 week after being built, 6 months deep and I'm even more thrilled... You're gonna love this Koa! Burton, you the Man

my CLM is the Brazilian one, built for the SB Show... and I Highly recommend the same finish as that, check with Burton, I know its a harder finish and gets sent out... Urethane? The way he builds it sounds more like French Polish guitars I've owned, only this is way tougher... Dry, sensitive, old and raspy in the best of ways.. I'd never choose anything else "personally" if I ordered another from him.

It went to sunny Arizona-
Dave's guitar is finished in polyester and that he would compare it to his french polished guitars feels like a compliment to me! Thanks for chiming in Dave

I pushed one of our forum friends to buy the hog CLM, but should have purchased it for myself. Ah well!
