It's been awhile since our last update. Joel has been busy with finishing and final setup work on a couple of guitars that are getting ready for delivery (as I understand it). Still, he has been working on the two guitars he has in-process, one of which is my quilted maple/sitka guitar.

Our last update left us with the box being joined and prepped for binding. The binding is ebony with koa and red-dyed veneer purfling to accent and join the other build elements. As Joel has previously mentioned, he incorporates bound sound hole, bound soundport, and a top bout comfort bevel as standard in all his builds. Here are some photos of the of the binding process.

Box joined and ready for binding channels to be cut:



Look at that beautiful quilted maple!!!

Joel does meticulously clean work!

Next post will include some finished photos of the binding and the end graft!

More to come soon!!!
