Can't remeber who but someone wanted to see these. The spruce front, koa back and sides is now bound. Took half a day to jiggle around the cutaway. I'm using sparkle abalam...

Yep. That was me. "Forgettable Fred" is what they call me around the house here.
Thank you for taking the time to post the vid. One of my first builds is a baritone so am very keen on any input.
I really like the looks of the J200 style.
Thanks again Pete.

You're right Chuck but I guess you have made one or two in your time. Client is paying me well for the privilege of having me prostitute my craft. I've blinged it and had to really get in the zone to do the mitres around the cutaway. Whole thing took half a day! I sure don't know how you do this stuff day in day out....

Just giving you a hard time Pete. Soon as I get time I've been threatening to start building Weisenborn steels.

Do it Chuck - I built about 30 or so of them and they are a breeze....
