The build from hell... Chinese fingerboard arrived cracked at a fret slot.. then refused to glue down flat.. fret slots loose for my Stew-Mac fret wire... still have to level the frets and make a proper nut n saddle.. may 2021 be better

Thanks guys, UJ I’m surprised you didn’t comment on my tuner placement... yes I put 2 of them way too close to the nut.. hopefully never again... now I have to build a nut with guide holes instead of string slots.. lol
Happy New Year to all..!!
Mister Jordan! The head stock wings are NOT even with the center head stock!!!!!
I am sorry, but I am taking solace out of your troubles. Two of my last 3 builds gave me too many problems. But this troublesome build of yours looks great. I like it from top to bottom. If this hobby was always smooth and easy EVERYBODY would be building.

2021 is a brand new year, hopefully, with less building problems for us CBG addicts, and as they, you learn by your mistakes (sometimes!) ;-D
