All finished and presented to my instructor.
This was a fun one. I didn't want to do the burst but I think that it came out well.

There should be some You-Tube videos of it in the future.

Rosewood Body
Englemann Spruce Top
Maple Binding
Curly Koa headstock and heel caps
Ebony bridge and pins.

Thanks for the support everyone!!!

Eric is that one of the KMG kits?

Ken:

That's the kit that we spent two Saturdays ago struggling over the neck fit.
The saddle is minimal, but the string height at the 12th fret is .09 on #6.
I had to make two nuts.

I broke down and bought a StewMac nut file for the #5 and #6 strings and it made life much easier.

Congratulations on #3! Great looking guitar. The burst looks good on the guitar. Nice overall finish job as well.

Excellent! I assumed that the neck set problem was resolved I was not sure this was the same instrument -- I really do like the burst. If you get a chance how about posting your process in the finishing section I bet some members would like to see it.
