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

What is your method for the endwedge treatment?

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.

I have more pics if anyone is interested I just did not want to post too many. HA!!

Thanks for looking!
Tony

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?

Yeah, looking at that wood in the raw you just knew it was going to be awesome when assembled.
