    You did a great job on this build as always.

    As usual, beautiful work. The wood is stunning. I love the sustain that a solid body seems to have. When do we hear it?

    Thanks for the video.

    I like the way you did your composite build up of laminates for the top and bottom caps. Reminds me of how bowyers make the handles on glass bows. Very impressive work , gives me ideas. Thanks for showing it.
