Ha! I was only going to point out the need for a fret to line up with the gap between the block and the tenon if you were dovetailing with a .5 join… |

Nice looking fretboard! Is that bound in Curly Maple? Can't quite tell from the pic. Should be a great looking guitar. Cheers, Bob |

Nice looking build! I like the different rosette, but I really like the fretboard. Bob beat me to it. |

Anytime I finish a guitar I’m always super harsh on the outcome I think. There are so many little things, and finishing is still an issue that frustrates me. I can build a great box but a bad finish just ruins it for me. I need to do a lot of practice and research before my next one is ready Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
