Acoustic Guitar Construction

Looks great, but makes me dizzy :)

Time for carving.

That is the fun part!

Box closed and trimmed and sanded square. Installed tail wedge and corner trim at neck prior to cutting mortise and binding rebates.

Moving a little slow on this one. Too hot/humid to get much done. I've finally finished installing and leveling the bindings and top purfling. I had pre bent the bindings and hand bent the purfling except the cutaway purfling section. Saved that for last. Installed at the same time with titebond. The last section was bent with the aid of super soft and water and a combo of my bending pipe and a heat gun. I'd get it quite warm and then push it in the rebate on the guitar body and hold while it cooled. Quite a few repeats of this step and it finally got close enough to glue in. Sanded level and I'll only have some very minor gaps to fill.

Yo JJ, That is a lot of detail, but looking good though. Sharp work!
