A new top mount model of ThunderTron by TV Jones. It's a Dearmond clone he calls a DynaTron. Cool, huh? Only $115.

Yeah Baby!.......OOPS!

I like the dual f-holes. The knob layout is fine. Don't want to get too far away from your inspiration.

That's interesting, I didn't think of that. I'll play around with it.........

I guess I'm the odd man out because I'm not liking the second hole. It looks too busy to me (but I am a conservative sort of guy).

I hear ya. I'm going to make a paper pick guard and I suspect that will not look so good when I consider the amount of nice wood it will cover. Then, the second hole works for me.

2 holes are always better than one !!!

Yeah, but around here you can never be too sure which two holes people are referring to!

I'm still liking two. If I go with one, I'll have to either use a pickguard or rout an access cover in the back and I'm definitely not going there. I love the unrouted look of the back.

This makes more sense. I'm also going with shark fin fret board inlays, so this should fit in just fine..

That headstock will work just fine.

And if you aren't planning on a pickguard, you definitely ought to go with two f-holes.

Yeah, I'm liking the no-pickguard idea a lot. Two holes make more sense in that case.

+ 1 on that!

Got my inlays today. They were too wide and I don't care for the slope on the top of the inlay. So, I cut them down and straightened the top line out. I've installed one already. Pics tomorrow.
