Thanks for the comments and kind words. Its too late to fix that glue seam at this point. Its filled and shouldn't show too much in the gran scheme of things. Its only my second and third build and they are what they are, which for me is a learning experience. I learned quite a lot from my first build and I've learned a lot from these two.
I'll try and apply those lessons on the next build and see if I can push myself a little further in the future. I already have a few ideas in mind.
don't care whether anyone is poking fun or not, mistakes or not I've seen worse pro builds - like has been said on previous builds - a good luthier hides their mistakes - the only problem with these is you've been honest enough & had the balls to share them - I'd be happy to own both of these builds - i've made much worse mistakes over the years that can't be hidden!! (not telling!!)
