Fretboard slotted glued on and radiused. That's my left foot BTW. Dots fitted and I've started staining the fretboard, the dots will show up better once I've snaded and finished the board. The inevitable trial fitting.

Lowdens are beautiful. Wanted one years ago, then got kinda put off by the "buy locally made product!" crowd back in NI (when you're 'from there', people falling all over themselves all the time to puff it up with all that "our wee country" crap gets really old really fast). These days, I'm more intrigued by them again. Big money, though. There is a new line he's doing with Ed Sheeran that are basically a budget Lowden. The one big downside for me is that they say "Sheeran" on the headstock (nothing against the fella personally, he seems a nice guy, but I'm very, very much not a fan of his stuff) instead of Lowden. Not that I would feel the "Lowden" with paying another grand or so for alone, but.... You of course may be less shallow than I am. I'm sure they are very nice guitars. Tanglewood and Simon and Patrick both make nice all-rounders.

I’ve known Al for decades, he’s a thoroughly nice bloke and all round good egg. Oh yeah, he’s an awesome guitarist too! When we were in a band together, he taught me stuff that I still use today. In short, highly recommended.
