  • I like your idea about the logo - I have been burning my initials into the backs, but I have some logo designs that might work as well.  Getting into fretting seems inevitable, but I keep fighting against it.  Partially because of the increased costs, partially because I am a chicken.  Now I have an order from someone who wants a strum-stick style neck, and I can no longer avoid it.  The push is probably a good thing. Probably.

  • Another thing you might like to do is design your logo for your builds.  I'll be putting a logo on my future builds as soon as I finish it (which I will also have on this site soon, my font was screwed up).
  • They look great.  I know you want some constructive feedback, you might use a longer nut and bridge to spread out the strings across the neck (allows better bottleneck contact).  Since you are getting the frets marked out why don't you install wire frets on the finger board?  Just keep at it.   I haven't built many more than five myself, but it sure is fun, and a way lot cheaper than my last hobby, ballroom dancing.
