Thanks for noticing Kale! These giveaway chuggers are the new version of my future 2-hour BYOB workshop builds. Trying to minimize the labor on my end before the actual build, and this is an improvement. The screw on neck roundover and a stick-on fretboard instead of individual frets is a big step in the right direction. I already have an order for 12 now and 12 in the spring plus I want to to a workshop in January, so plenty to do!
