It's actually too bad you fixed it, because "YakuzaCaster" would have been an awesome nickname. FOR GREAT HONOR
Seriously though, that's downright miraculous woodworking. I'm so impressed by stuff like that. Great work.

Great thread. This one will be fun to follow to finish.
There is something really exciting about seeing this guitar being brought back. I prefer seeing a great save to seeing a pristine original. Like many others, I am just so impressed by the skill and talents of the OSG members that work on guitars.
Tell Doug he isn't missed and OSG is better without him
(Anything to get him back)

Yeah I'm using Mike's (OffYourFace) old black ano guard from his "indo" JM as he snagged an original 9 hole black ano. Body should be fully cured in the upcoming weeks.
