Now the binding is on and the neck is fit with some rough shaping of the heel. Simple appointments on this one.
I am contemplating bolting on the neck, gluing down the fretboard, and then finishing the neck and fretboard with them attached to the guitar. I know since I've got this bolt on I can do as I always have, but for some strange reason I'm compelled to continue as if I could not remove the neck just for the experience of it.
So you guys either tell me I'm crazy, or give me the high sign on this will ya!!

Kevin I've finished a few guitars with the neck attached. Never without it attached though but it would seem easier if they were in two pieces.

I took the plunge and glued the fretboard down this morning, so I'm committed now to finishing this guitar from here with the neck attached. :>)

The only harder part I think would be any sanding or steel wooling around the contact point where the neck joins the body. But you'll do fine buddy all the confidence in the world in you.
