Thanks Mort. I've got the body glued up except for the top. That comes last. I'm changing plan a little. The way i glued it up the angle of the neck isn't right for my planned top. Not enough height for a bridge with the thick top that the squirrels were to work on. So I'm going to a thin Engelman Spruce top. It's just the right size and thickness. It will have awesome acoustic properties. I'll make my own sound holes for this thin wood. I'll brace it up as well. There's room for bracing across the pass through neck. It will be a nice contrast to the ironwood too. The fretboard is on and i've bound it with Mahogany strips. :^)
