That is one sweet looking guitar. Exciting to see it so close to finished.

Thank you John.

Well, she's pretty much complete. Today, I adjusted the nut and saddle some more, so that the strings are at the right height, and I've strung her up.

She really does have a fabulous voice. I'm going to take my recorder into the shop tomorrow to record a sound sample. She really projects.

I have 2 boogers to deal with on the top, so you'll notice some lacquer in these areas that needs to be leveled tomorrow. I want to quickly clean up the fretboard, and the headplate has dust on it. Lol

I've put new Waverly restoration tuners on her. I thought that their "aged" look would go nicely with the golden era theme of the guitar.
