Here's what they look like right off the machine with no sanding. I have a few left to cut, then the neck blocks and back veneers. They should all be leaving the premises this week. Some as early as tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for their continued patience.

John are you doing any standard 12 Fret necks with slotted headstocks? A guy in Alabama was asking me where to find them. Another new builder, will it ever end? He didn't mention his scale length, but my guess it's a Martin or Gibson standard he's after. |

Bruce...Stewmac has them ...Items #1106 & #1107...M&T and Dovetailed. John's would be more appealing since he would be able to do the laminates. |

I am very sure I can say that besides being laminated and optional back plates and smile volutes as compared to one piece mahogany necks Stewmac or LMI sells there will likly to be a world of difference in the quality of these neck. I can't wait to get my hands on mine
I Just can't wait
