    This thread is awesome. I've been gradually scrolling down, itching to see how that gorgeous wood cap is going turn out! Can't wait for the next instalment!

    Cheers Chilli.

    I need to give myself a bit of a kick up the whereabouts.  Done hardly any guitar building in the last few weeks ... :(

    Did get a forum built though :D
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    You can't rush things like this, and the end result will be worth the wait even for impatient buggers like me!

    I believe the longer you sit and look at a job ... within reason ... the less chances of a Foxtrot Uniform Charley Kilo up!

    Fantastic! That top has a nice Aria/Westbury/almost Rickenbacker/Mosrite 'German carve' look to it, although with slightly softer edges. Very nice indeed.

    My only criticism would be that the carve needs to extend right round to the neck on the upper bout, even if only as a very shallow one.

    It is too. I'm planning a carved maple top for my next project. I can only hope it turns out so well.

    I had an Aria 'Gerry Cott' signature years and years ago that was much like that ... wish I still had it.
