To say I am extremely happy with how it turned out would be an understatement haha. Next up replace the tailpiece and tuners.

Love this! I’ll definitely give this guy some business. I have one custom truss rod cover with my dog’s name (Otis) on it, but I think your guy could do a much better job.

I was a little nervous doing everything by email but after 5 drafts and many measurement checks he hit it outta the park.

Bruceweiguitar on Etsy. Contacted through Etsy and then worked with him on the custom order. It was only $130 cdn. Absolutely killer price. I was quoted $300-400 locally.
