Hello all, just wanted to update you on the Curbow build project. I've completed the inlay as well as the neck blank shape with truss rod slot. I've chosen the Hot Rod truss rod for this project as I like the 2 way system. For more details, check - http://wp.me/p2IaxD-4E

There has been a bit of progress on the Curbow project. I've just about completed the neck to the point where I can install it on the body to proceed with the layout and alignment. Check out the details here - http://wp.me/p2IaxD-5j Thanks again for keeping up with this build.

ImageHello, just another quick update on the Curbow Completion project #2. I've finished the initial assembly and alignments. Once again, to see a bit more detail, click http://wp.me/p2IaxD-5K - My client is giving this to his wife as a Christmas gift so It went to her yesterday. I'll be getting it back this weekend to make the final adjustments for her and to complete the electronics installation. The pickups are Vintage style PAF's for a classic tone on this cool offset-

I have posted several photos and a sound file at - http://wp.me/p2IaxD-7k - for the Curbow completion builds. These one of a kind guitars were a blast to build and my client is loving them.
