Thanks Fred, come on down and give it a workout! :D

Thanks Glen, that's something I need to try. I've got a little Canon Power Shot A630 that does videos also, just haven't tried it yet. More things to learn, take a video, upload to youtube, post here. It never ends! :lol:

Just one more picture here of the headstock edge.

Now to conquer more technological hills, :D

Well if ya' can't post videos and sound files, just call me and play it over the phone. The Doctor Who Booth works don't it? I'll be home most of the day tomorrow. :mrgreen:

And the side shot of the headstock looks very nice.

Lovely Guitar Joe. The beauty of the wood shines through perfectly. Elegant, shimmering simplicity.

Wow Joe, that really is a 'great' looking guitar. The wood combination is very tasteful and the fit and finish first class, a very polished result all round. Big mistake for the original customer to walk away from this one, its schweeeeet. :clap: :clap: :clap:
Cheers

Thanks for the kind words guys! Keeps me going.

And of course the phone booth works Glen, it just pisses me off everytime I come out wearing tights and a cape!

One last shot....

It's a dread, you know it had to have a pick-guard. :D

I guess I have had my head stuck somewhere but I missed this whole build! I really, really, really, like this build. Where can I get a set of the plans you used? The guitar looks fifty years old, it a good way! Very nice.
