"I too hope it holds up, lol, you know sometimes you just can't leave well enough alone? Well I kept thinking the neck and headstock needed just a little more sanding. I sanded too much. "

"Wow! What a cool, standout headstock. As far as strength of the headstock; time will tell."

My latest creation

"Cool reso! Haven’t seen one quite like it Michael; it’s very distinctive. I’ll bet it only whet your creative appetite."

My 3rd build

"Nice!"

Mar 10

Uncle John commented on Michael Conger 's photo

"Yup, looks good. We live and hopefully learn. In my case, I forget and have to re-learn. A good thing to know is that the scale length - nut to saddle is exactly double the distance from nut to 12 fret. "

My latest creation

"This is a beauty. "

"That is beautiful, Michael, but I would worry the head stock might be too thin for good strength and rigidity. "
