Sarah, that is some great work you are doing. It is always better to work Smart rather than just work Hard. LOL

:lol: more like rookie made. I like making things by hand instead of cnc. It just gives a certain vibe to things. I think with Mosrite it's especially well suited. Even though they had a factory and lots of employees the guitars still seem to have a hand made quality about them.

You may consider yourself a rookie, but seeing your work proves that you have very skilled hands, and a disciplined mind to drive them!

Finally finished. Sometimes I'm a bit slower than other folks as I figure things out. That and my Streamliner project, job hunting, home, etc. keeps me totally occupied.

I've bonded the tailpiece to aluminum angle, drilled through and then sanded everything. The originals had nicely curved edges so I tried to replicate that as well. Here are some shots of the one I made for Panther (Dan).
