You got it, Jeff. I'll post a series of photos and descriptions of the various stages here on CBN then message you to let you know they're up. Just finishing things off but getting side tracked a bit with life and health issues at the moment. Probably a week or two away still, looking at things realistically. I was amazed to be featured on CBNs Facebook page with this photo this week. Amazed and very appreciative!

Thanks AGP. Well one mistake I definitely made is gluing the neck in and now need to possibly do a neck back angle reset haha. I'm hoping I can get away with not solving that problem ;o) 

Thanks Glenn. I saw your comment and it was me who said "wow"! Without sounding like a crazy fan, I've got loads of your albums (most I think) and the fact you just commented on this has totally made my month. Thanks Glenn.

"Looks Great Bear", built one similar a few years back, and love it, and yes it's always interesting to hear and see how other builders construct their instruments re-maths & pointers etc., but I prefer to regard mistakes as Problem Solving  :-)

Thanks JB, glad that you like it. 

Thanks Blind Lemon Cello. I did put up a video about a week ago that was a sound demo of the unfinished guitar before the decorating stage. Feel free to have a look  There will definitely be another video demoing it when it's done though. 

Thanks Brian. Glad to hear you like it  

Thanks Charles. Video to follow as soon as I get it finished  Had a set back after messing up some materials trying to finish it off but I'm semi confident of getting it right this time after watching some more YouTube videos. We'll see! 

Thanks Uncle John. Glad to hear you think it's going well  Definitely a head scratcher from start to finish on this build. 

Thanks Jeff. I really appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed the sound demo video. That makes me happy.

Thanks Dave. Glad you like it. 

For those who may be interested, would sharing ALL my measurements and calculations along with ALL the build stage photos be of interest to anyone? I know we've got some really talented builders on here that are way out of my league but if mistakes can help someone or pointers from the math I'm happy to share. Let me know.

Bear :0}

Oh wow what a great looking build Bear I did see you video last week sounding great . 

Comment by Uncle John on November 27, 2018 at 9:21am

It is looking good.  Difficult looking build.

Comment by Charlie Fricke on November 27, 2018 at 7:13am

We definitely need a sound file uploaded when you get it finished. Way cool!
