Very cool. Looks great.

Here's the inevitable video demo ;-)

I injured my left hand a few weeks ago, so my playing is a bit sloppy. I just don't have enough strength in my fingers yet.
But the video does give a good enough idea how the FV-12 sounds. ;-)

That is so cool, Rob.   Love that bridge and tailpiece, too.  I think Tom Petersson needs something like that.
