Finishing up the Regal

Took off all the clamps this afternoon and got to work cleaning up glue drops and making sure the sides were as even as possible.  Feels solid as a rock now.  A far cry from the warped, delaminated pile of crap it was when it came in.  I don't do painting here, don't have the room for a spray booth, and Lou is an accomplished painter, so I'll let him take care of that if he chooses.  My job was to make it playable and sturdy, and I feel I've done well on this one.

Closer view of the sound hole to show the new bracing.  I wanted to try to find him a new label to replace the original which was in poor condition, but I haven't had any luck yet.

Can't wait to hear some slide on this one.
