Necks are glued 
Now that the C clamps are removed, I can work a little more on FP on the fretboards.
Heres' how I deal with PUs height:
Foam under the PU to push it outside, and screws to bring it inside.
I miss now just a tuning machine (but I can wait for it with 6 strings only) and the Bridges and nuts that are somewhere in the USPS mail network... |

| fwiw, I think of your G6 tuning as Em7, it really makes playing typical II-V-I and other common sequences very easy. I like your work on the lap steel very much. |

So awesome!
I can barely nail two 2x4's together, so I greatly admire you guys who can build instruments.

Beautifully built steel Xavier! I love the grain match and finish you have done. I bet she crys like an angel.
I'm curious about the tuners and whom you bought them from. I haven't heard elsewhere about being able to buy odd quantities of them.
Thanks,
Greg |

Thanks guys.
The tuners are GOTOs Schaller-style Knob, the only ones that Stewmac solds separately. Had to go with it.
Samples soon!
Used to play with 6 and 8 strings, 7 disturbs my mind a bit. |

Here's a quickie with my son playing his "BARON" dreadnought.
It's just for the lap sound (through a Spark amp), better played to come.

Seven is the “magic numberâ€!
If you don’t have a tuning in mind already, take your favourite 6-string tunings, and then add that one extra note that you’ve been missing all along.
