Love the rosette, so if this is guitar #0001, then are you indicating that you intend to build more then 1000 guitars? I like the way you think. Nice work, I will look forward to the completed pics.

Fitted the dovetail, got the angle correct and straight. Cut the slot for the truss rod. Fixtures worked real well, looking forward to refining them. T
