Dave, thanks so much. Yes, this one is different from the others. I love the combination of walnut and Birdseye maple

Bent my friend you are a "MASTER CRAFTSMAN" indeed. This steels looking soooooo good! I can't wait to see her finished and I like how you've locked the the front and back aluminium rails into the end plates, this should help keep any cabinet drop to a bare minimum ( just as we spoke about on our web chat) keep up the good work my friend.

Dave. ;) :D

Dave, It really builds me up to hear those kind words from you - a master in your own right. I have admired your work for a long time. Each new project of yours tops the previous one.
This guitar has been sold to Massachusetts and the buyer, Ben, is here to pick it up this weekend. Tomorrow is photo sessions and showing Ben( a new steel player) the tuning procedures with tuning pedals and using the split tuners. We finally got out of the shop at 11:30 tonight.

There are 2 things that amaze me about this steel: It tuned up, pedals and all very easily. It s like everything just fell into place.
Secondly, my own single coil not only sounds good, but for some reason there is virtually NO hum in it and that I can't understand!
Stand by for pics!
