I strung this up last Thursday.
I still need to set the action and polish it some more.

Very nice, Dave. Did you have any problems bending the Lacewood?

Thanks everyone!

Waddy' Broke the first set, on the second set I used Super Soft 2 and that seemed to help.

Ron, It's also Lace Wood. In fact I had that peice with me when I came to your house 3 or 4 years ago. I didn't know what it was so I brought it with me. Bruce Dickey told me it was Lace Wood and He had a back and side set that he let me talk him out of. The bindings are Sycamore that I picked up the next year in Spring Field at the ASIA convention.

By the way I figured out that I'm allergic to Lace wood dust. I broke out every where I got dust on me. So this is my first and last build with Lace Wood. This is also my first and last arm rest. The way I did it the guitar ended up weighing more and for me it seems to be easier to build a wedge and get the same ergo effect without the added weight.
