Very nice, Tony - also, that is fine looking wood. How does it sound?

What is your method for the endwedge treatment?
-Under permanent construction

These are worn holes. I did not fill them intentionally, but the finish got in them and well...sort of closed them up. I wish they were fully open to the inside.

Sounds like a guitar of course! It sounds good to me. I will post a clip soon.

I follow the KMG instructions for doing the end wedge. It has always worked so why change?
The wedge is wood from the sides.

Beautiful job Tony! Touche!
I like how your bridge turned out, nice lines. What is your opinion at this point of the pinless bridge?
That wood is so awesome. I know you have another set. Will you be making it up for yourself?

Beautiful Tony! I too like the bridge, worked out well.
So, my big brother was playing guitar and I figured I'd try it too.
