Cliff said he’s looking at finishing in about a week and a half. Now the long wait begins!

A shot of the heel (walnut between black veneers).

Looks to be almost a flat radius board?

Completely flat board.

That top is beautiful. Holy crappe, it's going to be a wonderful instrument.

Elegant look. It fits with the rest of the instrument very well.

Almost finished! Cliff let me know that the ship date will be March 7. These last few weeks will definitely be torture!

Does Cliff share full pics with customers along the way, or does he tease you with stuff like this?

Definitely teases the whole way! It makes the final reveal that much more amazing though.

It's kind of an interesting place for the sole knob. Way up there by the pickup.

I was curious about that as well. I always prefer mine as far away from my playing hand as possible. It'll be a real beauty though for sure!

 

[lumnick]

Not too sure on knob placement. Might make it easier for quick tone knob changes?

 

[lumnick]

Wowza!

Yep, definitely my favorite Bordwell body shape now.
