Things are starting to pick up again after the holidays and I’ve managed to sqeeze a few sessions in.
The neck is ready to be attached. It’s taken a while because of all the neccesary improvisations but… We finally finished the bolt-on neck.
The other major accomplishement is the closed sound box. Here it is being glued together using spool clamps:

And the result:
Guitar body front
Guitar body back
We’re slowly moving into the last stages of the build, but what’s left is:
Routing the binding and purfling channels (example of the procedure here), fretting and glueing the fingerboard, attach and shape the neck, make a bridge and fit it, make and fit a heelcap. And once that’s all been done it still needs to be finished which appears to be just about the hardest part of all.
More to follow shortly!
