I fixed a little tear out from when I stepped down the headstock:

All thats left to do is finish sand :love:

Profile is a fender style C at the nut that transitions to a flattish D at the 12th. 0.85" at the 1st, .88" at the 12th. Feels really comfy. I'm going to finish sand and fret on tuesday.

What's the latest? Did you get completely stopped by receiving your new guitar?

...not that I could blame you :D

Since I haven't been able to motivate myself to get my own projects going, I thought I'd live vicariously through this one :thu:

Wow! That is so cool!!!

If I hit the lottery, not only will I buy a ton of gear to rival Ruiner but, I'd also buy some woodworking gear and have a go at guitar making.

Playing a guitar of your own creation has got to be a great feeling... unless you're Nobody! :)

Korina on the left, walnut on the right.

The walnut is getting an oil finish and the neck I built in this thread. It's going to be a workhorse. I'm probably going to buy a single sized HB for it.

The Korina is getting a white stain and lacquer finish along with an as of yet unbuilt neck. :love:
