Looks awesome. Building a guitar is 80% sanding... and the other 20% is sanding as well.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I have the Seymour which could fit too...with a hum bucker ring converter. It didn’t occur to me early enough that I’d been lusting for a single bucker guitar for some time ....otherwise I would have modded this earlier. Never mind...got there.
