Neck photos

This is gluing on the heel block. I didn't have enough neck wood to make a heel block , so used some from the body for the tenon.
The mahogany is not the same hardness between woods.


Testing out the truss rod routing. This is a StewMac Hot Rod truss rod, that goes both directions.


The neck down to a better profile and truss rod installed. Headstock truss rod access also done.


Here are some close ups of the fretted fingerboard before gluing onto the neck. I have some detail glue clean up around some of the binding nibs on the edge of the frets, but this board looks nice up close.







The full fingerboard before glue up.


Getting ready for glue


The caul for gluing on the already fretted board to the neck.


Taping the board onto the neck before clamping... after glue.
