Really glad people taking interest already in the build.I love Teds work and he is obviously very talented.its great to showcase his guitars on the forums (and other builds),and it is always an eye opener when you see how much work goes into building an instrument.
Have to decide whether or not to have some sort of fretboard inlay done..I generally like understated guitars and like the clean lines of Teds work,so still to decide if an inlay would suit.
Will keep you up to date as and when Ted gets in touch,and do some narrative as to what's happening during the various stages.
All the best everyone

Looks very much like one of those Scandinavian thrillers on a Saturday night, don't you think? With all those chisels about, let's hope there's not too much blood.
