The Blog That ATE MY POSTS!

Or it's possible I never got around to them. I'm still building the guitar. We've been focused on the neck lately, and that's not very visual. First there was a channel routed into a piece of wood (for the truss rod that adjusts the neck's tension to compensate for the pressure of the strings.) Then the headstock got partially cut out and the holes drilled for the tuning machines. Oh, and the fingerboard got cut out. And the frets slotted. So obviously progress has been made, but again, nothing of visual interest. Monday, we should be cutting out the rough shape of the neck so we can start shaping it. That's when the pictures will be starting again.

What we've got here is the pickguards attached. There's still a bit of fine-tuning to do on them - any weirdness you see, assume that's what I'm working on. If you don't see anything, trust me it's there.
