Lookin great, Z!

Hey, what is that other hole? A second sound port, or is that a hole for electronics?

Dennis

Boy that bound fingerboard looks great Z. With all the jigs you've made, you really got this down! Very impressive, I'm still kinda feeling my way thru each step, and hoping I don't miss any!
