That's how many miles I drove Tuesday (to get there) and then Wednesday (to get back) to get to Blues Creek Guitars so John could learn me better how to do my dovetails. What a great day! Thanks again John.
Edit - I also got some goodies while I was there.

I would love to do the same thing one day. I haven't used a dovetail neck joint and don't plan to but I would still like to learn how to adjust them.

Hands on is definitely a step up from the video. I got the technical knowledge I needed from the videos but having John point out my "overthinking of the joint" was immeasurable to getting a better finished product.
