Here goes the side work. I like to glue the cutaway parts on the treble side together gree of the form
Putting the pieces together Surprisingly everything stays put after the clamps come off You can see the fir/padouk shop made laminated blocks for neck and butt enf.

I laminate the lining when using solid, non laminated, sides. The linings are layered up using the actual sides as a form while the sides are in the mold. The sides are covered with thin packing t ape to keep the linings from sticking. Once dry the linings hold their shape very well (which is the reason I laminate them). They can be removed, shaped and sanded before gluing them permanently.

I just happened to have a picture of the rather ugly process of laminating the lining. No studio shots here, just the raw work view of shop procedures
The white unbent lining material is home grown Polonia waiting it's turn at the bending iron

Thanks for following along Paul and for your positive comments. And you are right about the clamps. They have been used before.

Congratulations Woody and John! This looks to be another special JK build. I've played many of John's guitars (I'm Paul's friend) and they are all stellar! John is able to get a richness of tone that is unique and wonderful. He also builds guitars that are very comfortable to play.
I'm looking forward to seeing what this one looks like and sounds like! beth |

I think it looks clean and well built John. One of the most important and least appreciated part of any build whether it’s a home, a car, or certainly a guitar is what happens under “the hood”. What I know from personal experience is that your guitars are built to last AND they deliver beyond amazing tone. Thank you!
And yes….now one of the most fun parts for me, the rosette. Forgive me for being a copy cat with my lack of poetic prowess. After all, Tom has all the skills. But as I thought about Johns statement “and now to sweat the rosette, I was inspired to write this: It’s that time again for some guitar building fun, The time when a builder is under the gun, To deliver something cool can make a man sweat, But from that tedious work comes a beautiful rosette

John,
I love the rosette, very nice with the abalone crossing over. Great work. Jim |

I love that rosette. The dark burl is really well offset by the paua. I know some people think shell is overkill but in this situation it helps make everything else shine
