Neck glued in.


The neck got glued today. I had to use several clamps to put some pressure on the body top as the slot was a bit loose after I sanded some of the wood. I had handled the wood a bit and wanted a fresh piece of wood to glue to. Maybe some mineral spirits to simply clean the wood would've been better. It'll work. Lots of snug clamps are better than a few overly tightened ones. So far it looks good. I got lots of compliments on the reinforcement strips on the back, so I think I'll do the front too. The neck still need the final shaping and sanding. I also drilled the holes for the furrules today. The face still looks empty...hmm, what to do? The holes might be a tad off-line, between the third and fourth strings, but, again, you just gotta make it work! It's all about making the best of what you got.
