The building phase is complete. Here are some photos of the guitar assembled ‘in the white’ but the neck has not yet been attached. Soon after this, the guitar body was shipped to Ben Lambdin in California to have a French polish finish applied, a process that Tom expects will take about four weeks. At my request, Tom is planning something special for the finish on the neck.




We opted for a double line of purfling for the body binding.






Note the guide holes in the top that will be used to locate the bridge.
