Not really. My guitar is still at Kitchen Guitars' place because the humidity in my basement has been swinging wildly so I can only put in as much as John is able to accommodate me. I was there on Friday night for a couple of hours but all I really did was tack down some loose purfling on the top and start chiseling and filing away at the sides of the mortise slot and around the tenon so that I can get them to fit together and keep everything centered. I'm sure there's a jig out there but my barrel bolts are a little wider than the pre-slotted neck block which complicates things. As always I'm proceeding slowly. I wish I'd taken a pic but the end of the neck blank looks a lot cleaner and the top of the tenon just fits inside the neck block. I could work on the neck here but I want to keep them together so that I can regularly check to see how they fit.
Meanwhile, I still have the rosewood faceplate here and a mockup of the headstock in Adobe Illustrator here on my computer. I should probably be working on that.
