Sides are sanded and profiled to shape so its time to assemble the rim:
 The side ends are trimmed to length and the Double Sides are placed inside the body mold:  Oh, BTW, this guitar will utilize the brilliant design of Linda Manzer, "The Manzer Wedge":  Laminated tail block will be trimmed to to fit the Manzer Wedge:  Glue is applied to the laminated tail block, with a super high tech glue spreading device:

Tim, I've got one of those high tech glue spreaders. I think mine must be an older model.

I would never challenge anyone else to photo bomb their boss on company time just to see if it is without repercussion.

Very fun thread!
I am getting sucked into the luthier's corner here on AGF!
You guys are all so incredibly talented, and so dang NICE!!! Lots of inspiration! BTW, To backtrack a bit I have a VERY NICE R. Taylor style 2. (GC) in Sinker Redwood and Claro Walnut. I commissioned it for my 60th birthday. The sound is super warm yet very clear and it does amplify super well with the ES 1.3!!! Which I still prefer to the ES 2. But I play solo, and do not need to cut thru a band... You might want to check out the McIntyre acoustic feather SBT. Sounds much like the K&K, but not quite as hot a signal, and a bit more Woody to my ears. Does require an external pre amp, as does the K&K, usually. Carry on guys! You all make the world a better and more musical place! One super guitar at a time... I am off to practice Christmas Carols! Cheers Paul

No, I've not posted a shop tour but that's not a bad idea. Now if I only had the time to put that vacuum down long enough to hold a camera
