She has a few warts, some of the original damage is still visible if you know where to look, but she finished out far better than I had hoped. I can't wait to hear how she sounds.
Oh, and Kevin, I haven't forgotten about the Maca either.....

You guys have all heard a bit about the zebrawood guitar and the numerous problems it's been having. I finally got it to the point where the neck is on, and the bridge is glued and clamped as we speak. I smapped a couple of shots of it just before gluing the bridge, and I am really quite taken with it now. My sister is ecstatic, she's been getting pics texted to her every night for the last week as the finish continues to emerge.
