Looks great. I'll have to think about making one
The Simpson jig I've been using for at least 10 guitars seems to work okay....I get by.

I suppose if I was in high production but really, hand saw and chisel make pretty quick work of this. They take up less space when I'm done also.

He Banjopicks,
Do you hand saw and cut a dovetails by hand? Or straight mortise/tenon joints?
'cause I did dovetails a few times, but I found that not that easy to do it in a fast and perfect way.
I managed, the neck joints are still intact, but it was a lot of fitting work to me.

That is a real clean looking jig! I hide myself in shame when I think about mine.
