He's very knowledgeable about all things guitar and my "craftsmanship" is getting better with his help.
I now have the sides glued together and the linings glued. I have the back "indexed" and will get the front done tomorrow.
The back is braced. I put a backseam brace on. The originals didn't have them, they put the seam brace on the top; probably to cover bad joinery or to add strength to the pilage. Since I'm not doing one, it's not needed (i hope).
I cut the top braces (again) and sanded them on a 20' sanding dish.
The top is in the "go-bar-deck". This is cool, It's a giant clamp.
The neck is rough cut and routed for a truss rod. Tomorrow I hope to cut the neck heel.
This weekend, I'm going over to Larry's and he is going to help me plane it down and cut it to width. It really does help having someone who knows what they are doing.
