nice little touch with the end of the fretboard.

personally i am not too keen on multiply on fretboards, mainly because i worry about the outer strings wearing it quicker.... but it does look smashing

HOLY shite!

Beautiful work, love the double cut one myself. Now that's what you call a long tenon!!!  :D  Those guitars are really superb.

This is like a striptease!

I can only echo what's been said - lovely looking guitars.

Are you a pro builder, Hooglebug?  You seem to be getting through the project at a cracking rate...

It looks really nice.  there are a lot of subtle details in it.  I really like the way you have the headstock reflecting the carve of the body. 
So many pickups, so little time
