Got the body done tonight except for finish sanding. The herringbone purfling bend pretty easily and went in together with the rosewood binding nicely. Scraped the sides down and sanded. Now on to the finger board. Still haven't decided on position markers or logo material yet torn between pearl and maple. Hmmmm.

Whenever I think I see a speck of dust in your pictures, I've learned to just wipe off my monitor. :-)
Excellent work JJ!

Working on the headstock. Hand cut the inlays from maple. Routed then glued them in. Filled voids with tinted epoxy. Sanded clean.
