Damn Igor! You're moving at the speed of sound while some are just sanding off their finger tips! Thanks for the thread, it's fun to watch and I think we have a front runner for fastest build!!

I thought I was making good progress, now I feel like I'm in slow motion. Nice quality even at this rate of speed. Have you slept yet? How many hours a day do you work on this?

I like this guitar.

Great progress so far.

The radious jig is a serious piece of kit.

At this speed I better not blink otherwise I'll miss the finish.

Cheers
