What you don’t see below the crop line are the tassels. Strong is the Filipino in my in-laws.

Okay, I am not too bad though having some challenges at the moment.

Lockdown related?  Hopefully nothing too serious.

Not lockdown related but it isn't an easy thing - my wife is quite ill.

 

[fdesalvo]

We will keep her in our thoughts and prayers

Awesome job, reminds me of a "beak" headstock Kramer I got in the early 80's. Looks like a great shreader, I would give it a 10, but one glaring feature... :icon_scratch:

Haha that’s how I bought it. Wait times and headstock shapes pushed me into it!  Gotta say it’s a great neck that actually caught me off guard.

I like this and it also reminds me of an old Kramer I have with a single humbucker and vol knob. What gauge strings are you using? C-standard tuning?

 

[fdesalvo]

Ty!  Using a hybrid 10/9 set in e standard believe it or not.
