Yes you can!  But for some reason it sounds dirty when you say it!!!!!!  I can't believe you aren't a luthier....your craftsmanship is outstanding!   Later....

Checked out your page....you've got some sweet builds.  Is there a luthier school on your resume!!!!   Love the quality craftsmanship and attention to detail in all your work.  You have to be the king of "F holes"!   How do you get them so perfect?  Thanks for the friend invite too.  Always happy to add new friends!

Thank you for the friend invite! You have made some lovely instruments - I like looking at well made guitars. At some point, I am likely to copy something I have seen here...

Thanks for the friend request the other day.  I like all the pics of your guitars.  Great looking instruments and composition.  Nice detailed work.

I got the red & blk one. I am not sure how I want to load it..One trick you used I wanted to ask you about ; was the best way to get the label off the inside lid,for the headstock. Color coordination makes the build ...I have a lot of parts in my stash. but want the best pkps etc on the best builds..  KP
