Yesterday was a really productive day, got lots of stuff done!
Started the day by releasing the body from the gobar, take it out of the form and rout away the excess. Don't know if I have mentioned it but this OM size is the first one of its kind. So this is the first time I get to see it in "guitar form" and not just on paper, so was super excited to take this out and see how it looked!
Then it was time for flat sanding the sides, not my favorite step to be honest.
But after a couple intense minutes of sanding, we are flat!
Since I started using metal strips when bending my guitar sides, the sides have become so much flatter right out the bending mold, than before. So the flat sanding isn't that big of an issue anymore.
The to routing the binding channels, and cutting the slot for the wedge
Then to installing the bindings and purflings! Going with ziricote bindings, and w/b/w purflings for this one. One or two pieces of tape are used for this step.
Then that's it for today!
I'll be out of town for a couple of days. But I'll be back next week for more updates!
Want to send out a huge THANK YOU to all who's tagging along for this build, thank you awesome people! See you next week!!
