J185 progress

Post by tim crain 54 » Sat Aug 03, 2013 8:24 pm

just wanted to thank all of you that have helped me along to this point. It is really starting to look like a guitar. Being my first build of a hollow body it is nice to have the safety net of this forum on this project. Thanks again, Tim

PS: not sure why the pics are in reverse sequence. sorry about that

Nice job. Especially the mitered joints on the purfling. Keep on going.

Really nice work on the bindings and purflings. The body look great.

Beautiful mitered purlfings there...the whole execution of the guitar is clean.

Thanks for the encouraging comments. It is quite a challenge trying to keep all the steps and sequences straight, the electrics that I have built were a much simpler process. Thanks again for all the help.
