You're welcome, Todd.
Darn, looks like I got that seven neck fitted backwards! Oh well, fit happens.

It probably has powered automatic tuners! laughing6-hehe


I wish. It's much simpler though. I'm doing a hybrid electric/acoustic "stage guitar" thing, and I wanted to see if it's possible to ground the strings through the headstock. Tuners have electrical continuity to the housing, so I'll bury wires under there. So far so good. I got the headplate on too, and no major mishaps yet.

I love that silk screening! I really want to try it!


Thanks! That picture is after two coats, before I had the gun dialed in. After 5 coats, it looks fantastic! The silkscreening goes on very, very thin so even after just the first coat, there was no bump in the finish due to the paint thickness. I'm just wondering if there are any other applications that I can use silkscreening on the guitar under the finish. Back of the headstock? In the sound hole? Things to make you go hmmmmm......

Scraping bindings on #14 - Brazilian/Redwood with my own bracing design, which is a modification from the Romanillos style I have been building.

Just before putting the back on.
