The bindings are back on without the messed up top or purfling lines. Now I am really glad I changed the top!

Sweet, John.

Thanks! John --- the fix turned out BEAUTIFULLY!!!! I bet you're really glad you did this. I don't know if I would have had as much patience and determination to do all that you did to make this right. Congratulations! Have fun on the finishing and final steps! Can't wait to see the finished product.

So, my big brother was playing guitar and I figured I'd try it too.

Thanks guys,

I have it back in the finishing room. I cleaned everything up frop filled with CA where needed and applied Z-Poxy to the sides and the back.

I should able able to spray starting this weekend. I also included a picture of the Uk assembled. Who could see the obvious non cosmetic mistake? I will probably leave it but if I am really bothered I could fix it as well.
