I’ve put more into the bender as I mentioned earlier.  Here are a few images.

Also, I ordered zebrawood and sitka spruce with the 12 string kit.  The walnut and cedar for the 12 string is coming from another source.  But, by ordering a full complement of components through the LMI kit wizard, I get a substantial discount on each piece.  I’ll use the zebra for my next guitar, whatever it may be.

Finally, the spruce came with issues.  I wrote LMI and they are thinking about resolution which includes perhaps sending me a new spruce top.
