I believe that looks oustanding. Where would you stick the LED switch? Slightly below and between the bass and filter knobs seems like the logical location?

That top is looking outstanding!

That's the "talent" knob. It goes to 11.

The interface for the talent knob will make use of bio-metric neural transducers with infinite bandwidth DSP processors that can be controlled via the talent interface pre-set parameter logarithmic buffer control console .

All very easily adjustable with the neural command head band control unit remote. A new Alembic Accessory available some day .
Just dreaming _________new stuff ________!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, gentlemen.

To be perfectly honest I've spent at least an hour today staring at it. I am absolutely dying to see the back of the body and neck.

I'd like to know for what does that Knob over the Neck works for... Trussrod Knob, perhaps?

Scunched around just a little bit:
layout
Those lines are just drawn in freehand - in the real deal the holes will all be centered along parallel lines. Looks nice and tidy that way.

Hitting the drill on this today.

The stuff on the fingerboard is what I cut and paste in Photoshop so it's at least a very similar scale.

Suite.

Any chance you could score a nice sexy photo of the back of the body/neck?

Well, no drill - apparently I didn't have the best view of the cavity, so Bob drew it on the front for me!

layout

Had to tuck them in a little closer to not hit the cavity, especially on the LED switch. You think I'd have figured these things out by now!

Waiting to drill until we confirm with you.

Mica,

Sorry I missed your call today! We were walking the dogs at the park. Gotta enjoy those last few days of no rain in Seattle before the 6 months of no sun starts. :-)

That new layout looks great. Totally works for me. Drill away!

I'll call you tomorrow just to further confirm that I've seen this and everything is cool.

Thanks for everything!
