Time to finish catching you all up on this build!
Fully bound and hanging out...
Getting the neck nicely lined up...
This one will have a magnetic flush truss rod cover which requires binding a little recessed area. Some brace stock off-cuts and a little wedge work great for applying clamping pressure...
All cleaned up...
And now with the spalted maple cover...
As I mentioned at the start of this thread, I just got this back from Vancouver Guitar Finishing and they once again did an amazing job!
This ones also got a really beautiful sitka top...
And that's where we're at!
