do it! lets team up and make something like todd and filippo. we can both make a dread or the MJ. plus it will get you moving to make another one.

You should. It's a lot of fun. I now have to make an end wedge to match it.

Post subject:  Re: Micah's build

Not that I expected to come close to winning, but you guys are all making some great stuff. I'm going to have a hard time voting! I can't wait to see what you do with the end wedge. Looking great so far!

Just started putting on the finish today. Will have pics soon, it's going to look sick!!

Post subject:  Re: Micah's build

its been awhile since I have updated, but I am moving along. I put my final coat of true oil on today so I'm going to was until next weekend to buff out the body of the guitar. I have a little more work to do on the neck and then I'll start finishing it. I have the bridge cut out and now I just need to shape it.
I was hoping to be done with this, but work has kept me out of town for over a month.
