Thanks, I like it too! BTW, most of these were built in NZ when I was living there. I am in the UK and will be building a few more things....mostly things that people refuse to make, like a lefty Kubiki Ex factor style or a lefty Dingwall slanted frets style.

Every year I send them a message asking if they will one day make a lefty so far it has ben "no.". You never know though.... every year I make sure John Hall thinks about lefty inlays for the 4003 and lo and behold ... we have them now for 2008! yay! (time to get one though, my Rics are all dot necks)

Not really, have lots of parts and bits, glue ups and raw wood - but my son is 15 months and a handful! I'll think of the progress photos for the next one though, and it is a lefty EUB.
