Just do the one for your right foot and you'll be finished.

Few more images. The bridge is a semi-temporary one at the mo just to check height, width etc. The Saconni adjuster may be too long but until the jack plug arrives (fitting a Benedetto S6 floating pick-up and tone/vol adjustment at the pick guard (cables back through the 'f' hole to the tail block).     Hope you like TBC |

Beautiful! Superbly chosen woods there Francis. I do have slight reservations about the headstock shape, but it is a huge improvement on the overblown ornate examples often found on this type of guitar, and I've no idea what I'd prefer it to be.  It looks stunning now, but when it gets some finish on.... Keith |

Pictures! Pictures! Pictures! Pictures! Well earthbalm finally managed to get a couple of images - note these are in the bare wood state no finish applied yet: Just lovely - the back is fantastic, like my Tanglewood TW66 but with better flame (and not laminate). I'll see if I can post a picture later. Wish I had your skill set and attention to detail.  |

Just emailed Si at Brooks and they will spray it for me - although I have the kit to do it I think it deserves a proper job.

I've really enjoyed the progress of this build Francis, may I thank you personally for the time and trouble you've taken with the whole thread...it's been a rare pleasure to view.
