Nice one. Love 'naked' timber guitars. Cant hide too many faults when going natural.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Re: number 21...the coming of age build
Really nice job Lawrence. I think if the jack plate was recessed so it was flush it would match the other controls and look tidier. Just an observation, I couldn’t build that.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...
Re: number 21...the coming of age build
Yeah that is amazing. I could quite happily buy one of your builds and be very happy; the grain on this natural one is stunning. Kudos to you
