Well, I strung it up last night and finished the nut slots and preliminary setup this morning. I will let it settle in for a week or so, and then I may have to give the neck adjusting bolt an eighth of a turn, but that should be it. Here are a few quick photos. Still have a few spots in the finish to rebuff and I am going to change the bridge pins to better match the "aged" moose bone nut and saddle. Please excuse the reflections and dust specks. As I said, these were quickie photos.
Yes, there is a tad of runnout in the top, but it sounds great. This is white spruce from locally here in Minnesota and the trees are rather small.
A close look at the cocobolo back.
Here is the figured ebony peghead with the "bison skull" figure in the center. It shows more in the actual guitar. All the binding is bloodwood/figured English harewood/ebony.
This is the neck/body joint on my adjustable neck design. The neck heel is inlet through the sides to the neck block.
Here is a closeup of the white spruce (Picea glauca) top. The silk in this species is not as visually noticeable due to the overall light color of the wood. It is fine and delicate, and gives a lusterous sheen that I really like. Sounds great, too 
Hope you enjoyed the pics
