Not going over board with pictures, but I sent another batch yesterday. He always sends a nice thank you note when he gets them.

Peghead inlay on back side


Adding fretboard bindings. I asked for a blank fretboard, no inlays. That's the way I like - a natural looking guitar with perfect tone





Inlays cont'd

Hooray!!

Preparing fretboard and neck




Sapwood is found in bridge! It looks good by itself but not so harmonious as a part of guitar so...we finally decided to use a solid one instead.


Pre-fitting the neck

Tim, with all the photos and documentation you have, you ought to write a book; formally document the build process....
In your spare time ...;-)

Amazing NGD! Impressive work that goes into a hand made guitar! How much would this example cost me if I ordered one? Thanks!
