    thanks guys! I hate sanding - this is the first time a neck gets really smooth. If KISS were a hobo skiffle band, would they have instruments like that?

    I like the way you displayed it here almost as much as the git........ I mean axe!

    I have a partially completed "looks like an axe, axe" in my shop right now.....I'm so ashamed.

    It is very cool my friend.  I just love those flatpups of yours too!

    Sounds bloody good except for some occasional head splitting feedback and its a real pain to play sitting down......

    Nice work sir!
