BP, looking forward to seeing these and hearing the story behind it: how the decision to make a Bongo6 came about, why the Bongo as opposed to, say the SR6, etc. Again, thanks for the look. It's so fantastic to see this instrument being created from the beginning.

I'm with you Ritchie--I've got something to save for. FWIW, I would probably not go for a SR6, but am really interested in the proposed Bongo 6.

I'm a patient man, and a deferential man...call me Mr. Zen...I await the final product & am happy that BP & crew shared news of this project at such any early stage of development.

I can't speak for Dargin, of course, but I think I know him well enough to answer that question.

But I won't.

Let's cut some wood.

We're almost ready to start making neck jigs and shortly thereafter- necks. Now that I've got the green light on the body we'll get moving on getting tooling and programs ready.

Stay tuned...
