One more thing: As some wise man once said, don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If it's a guitar that sounds and plays nice, you done good. The guitar is what it's supposed to be. Your next one will be better, but ... here's the important thing ... it will not be perfect, either.
I spent some time and got it "good enough" to move on.

Lessons learned on build #2:
1. Don't try a backstrap for the first time on a neck with a volute
2. Don't be in a hurry
3. Look at lessons learned and heed them for the next build

after 215 guitars there are still things I wish I could do better . Each one has a personality. As long as I am learning that is what matters.
