Nah, waiting longer to see this finished is just going to make seeing the finished product so much sweeter

It's ETS, it's worth the wait. Top quality gear that every builder should be using.

This thread makes me want to try an ergo shape for a build... And some fruit woods.

The missing parts are shipped, but did not arrive today. ETS seems to be very busy these days.....

Is it just me or is there something just wonderful about this build ?

I think I'm going to get some pallets and do one of these. I can just email Ola asking to use the design right?

Yeah I know. I just wanted an idea of when I should check my email. I usually don't check it daily cuz I barely use it.

It's here:

This is were I want it to stay:

Shaped the neck end and made a start to adjust the headpiece to fit....

I'll send it back to ETS when I'm done to get it plated in black chrome like the rest of the hardware....

How much did that cost? it looks like something you can make yourself with a drill press.

Those are made on a CNC, you could probably do it yourself, but I think its quite hard to line up all those holes perfectly and to thread the upper holes to be able to clamp down the strings... but maybe I'll give it a try next time.

That actually doesn't seem like a bad price for something like that. I'll probably try it myself when I get around to making a headless.
