"Look at this photo....HIBBIE GNARRRR!!!!"

Nothing really to add in terms of narrative, but lots of pictures. I'll explain each picture in the caption.

MONTAGE!!!!!!

I received my Mexican Cocobolo fingerboard in the mail. My sister says that it looks like bacon.

I also got my Adirondack Spruce guitar top. The tap tone is already killer, and its still 1/8" thick!

My Padauk back. I also have sides that look like this. I may or may not stare at this picture on a daily basis because the wood is in storage.

Red Wing at night from the top of one of the bluffs. That was a fun night hike.

This was hanging on the wall of Potbelly's in Dinkytown. Part of Zach and Steve's man-date 2.0.

I also played this 1963 Fender Jazzmaster. In most guitar shops, this would be locked behind glass and you would need to give up your first born child and/or a $5000 collateral. Not at Willie's.

Mother Nature finally got over her constipation about snow. My car is under there somewhere.

Minus a few odds and ends, This is my acoustic guitar. it all fits on a 2' x 3' shelf.

Still cranking out fret jobs at home. They've gotten much easier/quicker to do.

A shot of the workbench in its natural state: controlled mess.

We caught a bit of the Dr. Steve Brule fever this past week. Drawing done by yours truly.

Using the fret press to press frets into the fingerboard. Crazy how that works, right? I like this method much more than hammering them in.

I can now also solder guitar wiring diagrams.

its kind of fun. changes things up a bit.

That is more or less what I've been up to these past 3 weeks. Now I have to do a bit of clean up work and study for my written exams.

cheers.
