Yeah baby! Just bought this on Reverb!

If the top is padauk, I've worked with that wood before and found it a little brittle. Where they have the cutout for the Jack I'd be tempted to let a little bit of thin super glue wick into the edges from the underside to harden up the edges. Probably not necessary, but I could see it getting a little beat up over the years with cables going in and out all the time.
 
I should be getting this in some time next week! The final piece of my trio.

So, soon I'll have a blonde, brunette, and a redhead!

They're all gorgeous ,but I especially love the middle one. Beautiful maple top.
Would you mind posting a picture of the back?

Good advice on the superglue. I'll see how it looks when I get it and if I even can. If it's like the blonde bass I pictured the wood isn't raw but coated in a satin poly, so I wouldn't be able to wick anything. It it's an oil finish then I'll do the wicking.
