That's Awesome!
How about a Randall playing his guitar and singing version for us all! 😁

Inspired by the Weird Al Yankovic version, right?

Took a break to spend some time with the grandkids

Side bracing in. Inside back strip on.
I also have the back braces glued in but not yet carved. That I'll do today

I installed my rosette, a simple 2 ring with the inside abalone with BWB borders and now have all the top braces glued in place.
Next is a whole lot of carving to do!

"I have the top and back attached now and the overhangs routed off. The sides sanded all nice and flush.

Working on the neck. I hand cut the truss rod slot. I like doing this now as I can better keep it on center versus using my inexpensive router table. I started the fretboard. Cut off excess to use as binding so it will look like an unbound fretboard when done.

Will be gone for about a week so that's all for now."
