Ooooo...The Maple is soooo tempting....it looks fantastic. Your website looks nice and clean just like the rosette on this guitar. Nice work! Enjoy the build and your garden too.

Thanks all for the input! I think I'm leaning the way of the maple. I'll post some photos this week with the end decision.

Hey Tony, thanks for taking a look at my build and my site. I followed up by taking a look at your site, beautiful! It's a wonderful mix, growing food and making guitars, I can't imagine a life I would enjoy more.

As far as the fingerboard goes, I'm 99% sure I'll be going with the maple!

I've been using fully bolt on necks for a while now but always wanted to design a more elegant way to do it. Here's what I've got.

Tomorrow I'll install the shop-made carbon fibre u-rod, by Friday the beautiful Mark Blanchard made truss rod and next week the fingerboard.

The Carbon fibre u-rod had been installed. By days end tomorrow I should have the fingerboard on.
I'll carve the neck next week and the guitar will be ready for finish!

The end of the week, what a nice place to end. I'll carve the neck next week.
