Harry, yer email just bounces and bounces, so i will post my last email here (along with a down-sized picture):

your neck wood arrived today ( pic)

I guess your body wood will be here in another week or two!   About top wood: i went to take new photos and found out that "78" and "79" are actually THE SAME PIECE ( just with the paper template the other way around). So i think its safe to say if we use that and flitchmatch it, we will get exactly the effect you are looking for.

Status report: Dudnik is still out of the country (he went to visit his family for holidays, and paperwork difficulties are preventing him from re-entering Russia!) 

Currently, Stepanov estimates that he won't be back any sooner than the 20th, so unfortunately your guitar is "In Limbo" till then :sweat:

Where is Dudnik lives? He's not from Moscow?

=======================

3 piece mahogany neck? for what?

Dudnik lives in Moscow, but he's not "from Moscow" (something like me...)

Three piece neck is cut from a single board, but in a clever way so that the grain in all three pieces is opposing. This results in a substantially stronger, stiffer, and more stable neck. It also sounds better that equivalent 1-piece necks...

I hope the middle stripe doesn't stand out when the neck is oiled and waxed. Hey Garage, what's up? What's the status report on Dudnik's location? Did u guys conduct a search party on him......lol
