Mica, Val, Chip et al.,
 
Thanks for everything. Koco is really coming along. Yes, there you have it. We have a name folks! Boy, am I excited!!!!!
 
Val, thanks for getting back to Bradley. My traveling has made it hard to post comments as fast as I would like.

Peter just received your guitar in carving, and brought it to me for some photos. Here's what it's shaping up to be:  

 

 

 

  Mom and I have been working on the artwork for the fingerboard/body inlays. I've got the first Kokopelli digitized, so the mock-ups won't be too far behind.  

Michael,
 
That is one awesome guitar.  Can't wait to see it with finish on it.
 
Bradley

Thanks Bradley. I can hardly wait myself.

Ready to route:  

 

 

 

  Since the top is sanded, you can finally see some of those amazing Coco Bolo quilts!  This is going to be on hold a few days while I'll work out a control layout for a side-mounted jack (it takes up alot of room inside).

Assuming it will have the FX loop - can't it be done with an XLR? Perhaps easier to fit in sideways, compared to two jacks?

Michael,
     You played with Willis? Could this be the same band that my friend Daniella Dee Katzir sang with?

Adriaan,I'm actually going with one 1/4 inch input and no FX loop. I've asked for a variable boost switch to be incorporated into the electronic set up.

Gil, The Willis I played with is out of NYC. We never had a Daniella sing with us.

Hi Michael,  Here's the two kokopelli figures for the fingerboard:  

 

  We'll be assembling these with the rest of the details shortly.

Mica, What do you think about morphing the most recent Kokopelli into what I'm including below?

Or coincidently (maybe not)
 

Here's the layout for the slightly modified electronics:
 

That big square is the free area needed for the side-mounted jack.
 
This keeps the knob and switch locations the same as a normal Further. This will be much easier when it's time for servicing in the future.  
 
The LED switch is frequently located where it's indicated on the picture. It's far enough from other functions so I don't think you'll hit it on accident, but close enough so it doesn't look isolated from the rest of the controls.  
 
If this looks good, it will be routing time for you.

Here's the LED switch, slightly moved:
