Default Char Build, part 3

Due to Covid, I wasn't able to be present for every build step, but between updates from Kerry and a few socially respectful visits, was able to keep up on the build...a ray of sunshine during a tough 2020 for everyone.

Here are a few more process steps...towards what will be a 12-fret, 000, slot headstock, magnificent Cocobolo binding and bridge. Specs are 24.9" scale, 2-5/16" spacing and 1-3/4" nut width.

I've included a few photos with the first couple coats of lacquer, with more finish photos to come.

Happy Easter.
