And, here is a stack of neck blanks with the fingerboards glued on, just waiting for the rest of this "batch" to finish, before they get cut to shape - those photos will be coming soon!

My poor top. Hey that means I will have the first Dust top Roscoe ever made.

I guess that could be cool too since I have never seen a bad looking Roscoe.

At least the wenge neck will be killer, just like Master Gards.
Woooo Hooooo!!

Here is how they go from big blocks of wood all glued together to at least looking like the outline of a neck -

Here's Jason cutting the outline of the neck/fingerboard:
