I like open back tuners, especially the ones with a brass gear, like these. This test fitting of the gears, after drilling and countersinking the holes is the last step before applying the finish. Which will be an amber to black sunburst. I am getting the feeling like I want to assemble this one before too long and see what she goes like.
Oh, and the lining and back strip has arrived for Bob's Very Nice Guitar, so I can start thinning the plates and bending sides. By September the relative humidity should be low enough to assemble the body. But that would be pushing the pace. Maybe by Halloween... in which case the Very Nice Guitar may be renamed the Scary Night Guitar.

An October guitar, wouldn't that be perfect? It will be perfect anyhow but you know...us midwestern Ray Bradbury people.
At dusk, there appeared a set of footprints in the sand leading to the edge of the water. And none returning.
Love Ray Bradbury.
