Does anyone build mooncasters?

[ScottDR]

A Mooncaster might be my next project.

If there is one model from Warmoth that I wonder/fantasize/ about, it is the Mooncaster. I've designed a zillion builds on this platform in W's builder.

I really have to put one of these together.

I would add a mooncaster to my wish list if it could be purchased without the binding, again going to price.

Yep, same here... hard edge binding put me off of LPs a long time ago, and certain Rickenbacker models too.
LARGE RADIUS EDGE ROUNDING FOR THE WIN...

Agree. I do my own binding, and W does not sell a carve top without the binding. Deal breaker

I haven't built it yet. Also, I rarely play on the high frets
