Hi Ben

Nice to see your work. I'm in talks with Dean at the moment regarding a CNC machine for me to make jazz guitars. A similar process in some ways to a Les Paul.

I noticed you have a lot of tooling marks left on the neck and further bits to sand, could I ask why that is?

I'm hoping that I can do necks with less work left after machining but I might be unrealistic about what I can achieve.

Issues for me would be that jazz guitars don't have have wings glued to the headstock and the heel is taller.

So without sounding like an arse, are the issues (you may not see it that way) you have purely down to lack of experience, or is it simply as you state, easier for you to do more post sanding. I'm hoping to do asa little sanding as possible as this adds in a margin of error and lack of repeatability.

Also how well did carving the top of the body go? Did you have to do a lot of post sanding to get rid of tooling marks or was it pretty much good to go?

Cheers
