No problem, I'll share my masking.  I use some secret tape to bend around the curves on top!  Ditto on the humidity.  I've got three projects ready for S&S and I'm just waiting.......................... :-\

I think retarder might be in order for the humidity problem and I'm the right guy for that.

Play in warmer venues, Tony... either that or (God Forbid!) move west and north...

Timbers are effected by temperature changes, so it makes perfect sense that tonewoods be effected in this way...

I'm currently on vacation at 11,000 feet in the mts of southern Utah at a ski & summer resort called Brian Head. No humidity in sight! Every now & then the time share comes in handy for trading. Drove thru 106 degree heat to get here but day temps topping out here in the 80's.

It's in the pile (with my Hofner and EB-2) waiting for me to get some time to shoot some S&S on it.  It's been a bit waylayed by the EB-3L, but it's waiting patiently.  Maybe this weekend!!!
