Some people here won't like you using the Fender logo - but your build is very interesting and I look forward to following it.

Now that's country!

Nice build for sure. How did you attach the hub in the upper horn area to the body?

That's definitely cool, I gotta say though I am intrigued by the home built B-Bender. I've always wanted a G-Bender and $500 to buy the bender and install is a bit more than I would like to spend.
