    Not only a great build but I can't even begin to imagine the thought process of not only building it but creating the idea in your mind. Excellent work.
    As you say .. it's a bit delicate but the competition is not about building the most robust guitar.
    Beautiful work and great video/camera work.

      I struggled very much deciding what this build wanted to be. After the neck build I took a complete 180 and gambled on a new idea. Even after countless hours on the previous idea. Thank you for watching my friend very much appreciate the comment

      That’s exactly what I saw. I think normal people don’t realize the time ratio of tool use:tool maintenance. I don’t love sharpening like some people, but a good sharp chisel is so rewarding to use and necessary for this kind of detail work.
