Well, things have been on hold because of c19 and the luthier's access to tools, but it gave me time to get some hardware and we won't have to raid my tenor now to finish it. So, that is a plus to all this waiting...

I did get to see the work done so far, in person. It looks so much better in real life than in pictures. I was able to hold it and see what fret I could get to in the cutout to play a major chord on. I could bar chord to the 16th fret without any contortions. I also found out it will be wired in Gibson LP format, which I really like.

Thanks! Things are still at a stand still due to c19 and facility use issues for the builder, but I will survive the extra waiting.

The builder is finally able to get back on the build. Whoohoo!
The luthier has the neck radiused, and is working on the veneer for the headstock (it will match the body). He hopes to have it glued in place this weekend. Woot! Progress!!!

Looking great, I love the spalting in that piece of timber!

That looks like it'll be an incredibly beautiful instrument. I hope you're getting a blue chip to go along with that blue mandolin!
Blue chip?
