Also have resumed work on the SSC. I hand-carve all my necks. Sometimes, I have one end up in the trash. But not this one:

Your user name isn't familiar to me, but your posts are very encouraging! Thanks again!

by the way your spalted bass in the thread helped me decide on going with spalted maple top on my custom bass that Jared will be building for me

Any updates on this?

Nothing lately. My summer has been consumed with performing gigs and riding the bike.

Home today from the annual 3 days at The Gorge with the Dave Matthews Band and friends. This marks the semi-official end of the summer season for me and if prior years hold true, then I should be getting more and more shop time in as the days get shorter.

Thanks!

I really like the headstock! It looks awesome with the 'gap'.
