See attached pic. Ignore the word "uncultured" because it does not apply to you or to anyone who reads or ever will read this post.
And I don't know who the guy in the picture is - he's not Jake, I'm pretty darn sure. :-)

Well, I don't think YOU need to "Call Jake" either, not at all.. but as far as Jake is concerned, being a life-long perfectionist, or so my wife says...(Not that I do anything THAT well) but I would jump on JAKE and CHOKE him!
I have no idea when to quit...you know, "Just ONE more little bit, and I've got it"...more than likely, it's too much and over the hump! Sometimes you just got to know when to quit and I envy those who do.
Looks great...I love to play that thing...hope you can run an audio of some sort, that would be really cool. :>)

If when I string it up, the xtra light bracing does not immediately implode, I will record a clip. But the implosion is possible, and if it does, I will post a sad sad picture of the horrible result. And chalk it up to experience learned. And call it Jake. :-)

The guitar looks awesome Dave. And you used my favorite wipe-on poly even. I love that satin finish.
My cousin married a guy named Jake. I wonder if she knew about the potential stigma of that.

Okay Dave, now I get it, but I still don't know who Jake is :>)
(okay, I'm just teas'in)

I really like how that top looks. The more I see some streaking and color in tops, the more I like them.
Can't wait to hear how it sounds.
