"---find new way of making guitar building easy and fun"

Yeah Ron, that sure does look easy! Handmade rope binding, vine inlay on neck and headstock, not to mention the harp shape to start with. Sheese, take a break all ready! :D :mrgreen: :D

Mighty fine looking work Ron! Maybe you ought to try something a little difficult next time. :D

Loved watching this build,
Joe

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Doesn't fit? Get a bigger hammer.

Ron,
How sad. Your build is over and I will have to wait for your next one.

Inlay question. The two bottom leaves of your headstock inlay have one vein each. Is that scribed or is that a saw kerf?

Thanks,

Lefty
