Slow progress on this one,
Stuff happens -- I still have not finished my personal crossover --- years!

Thanks Herman, yeah Ken, your talking about your crossover years ago caused me to build mine. I'm happy with it, but I put a 16' radius on the fretboard and I think maybe I should have left it flat.

The back is glued to the sides. The top is ready to glue down. I brace a little heavy as this top is redwood, and, more importantly the guitar is going to India where the humidity will be much higher. I've done this was the other 3 guitars I've made for India and they are holding up pretty well, so I'm sticking with that plan.
Its good to get this guitar to this point.

This guitar is over. I sanded through the side, over zealous with a RO sander trying to get down past some staining in the wood.
No problemo, I was okay. I'll hand it on the wall as a reminder.
I've started a new thread, the guitar is now going to be Sapele with Sitka top.
