Very nice, Tony - also, that is fine looking wood. How does it sound?
What is your method for the endwedge treatment?

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.
