Hi Paul,

Just wondering if you have a name for your new workspace yet?

How about "The Jangle Jungle".

Thanks for the look at the 37012V65 with CB.

Best,

Manta

The 370/12V64 w/CB looks great but I think it should have white binding on the soundhole too.

Paul, what a beautiful project. Eager to see the finish color.
I see you have put a clearcoat on the fretboard prior to the main finish.
New finishing schedule?

Nope. If I'm building, or if I'm refretting then the fretboard is stripped and receives a finish along with the rest of the instrument. In this case, the fretboard is already finished from the factory, so I left it as is. It will be sanded and given only one thin fresh coat of varnish to "freshen it up" and blend it into the rest of the body's varnish coat.
