    Sadie, There's is fantastic to hear! I did end up pulling the trigger over the weekend and went with the wider neck. I still need to choose pickups, tuners, and some other hardware, but the wheels are in motion on the body, neck, and bridge mount. Suffice it to say, I'm excited 😊. I...

    I appreciate this sage advice, my friend. I'm going to do a bit more soul searching and probably pull the trigger this weekend. I think I'm just going to shell out to have warmoth do the satin finish on both. If I enjoy the process and results of this build, I'm sure it won't be my last, so I...

    Hello, friends! My name is Boe, and I'm going to try my best to keep this concise and not ramble on too much. In the immortal words of Kevin Malone, why waste time say lot word when few word do trick? I'm a singer and one trick pony, fingerstyle guitar player with some nice, hollow...
