Hey Brian
That looks great. I see that you have fretted the whole fret board. In an earlier post I noticed that it was going to be fretless in the upper register...what made you change your mind?

Thanks David!
We are pretty happy with how it is coming out. Chris decided he wanted frets all the way up since he has such good access with this design.

Looks great, Brian! That kid is lucky to have you for a mentor. There's probably some other kid in town assisting a Roto-Rooter sewer guy.

Looks sweet Brian. I think programs like that are a great idea. Glad to see you participating and passing along the trade to the next generation.
