Trial fit of the Gotoh 510 tuner this morning. A rosewood heel cap has also been added and the neck has been fretted too    Time now to go round and finish off any small detailing and get ready for grain filling etc. These will be the last images posted here until after the handover... |

Fantastic work francis - as always. That's a lovely looking piece of rosewood for the fingerboard too. |

Everything masked off now and two coats of lacquer applied. Tomorrow I'll cut back the lacquer and apply another coat (or two!) |

It's a K&K Pure Mini Vinny Three pads slotted in between the curved bracing directly under the saddle. |

Thanks,Francis. Assumed it would be a k&k to avoid the falcate bracing. They’re what I normally use, but it seems a criminal act of vandalism to drill your lovely end graft. I’ll leave it for the moment. Just put the lacewood down a moment ago. It’s getting more playing time than the Lowden or Avalons. Guild gathering dust.

John is a very lucky git man!
Looks great (I mean the guitar, of course) and I hope to see them both at Halifax in September.
