Week 3

Hit the ground running this day, had the sides glued to the neck and tail blocks in a matter if minutes of walking through the door. Looking like a guitar now.

Shaping the back bracing was the next task. This took many hours of planeing chiseling and sanding but I found it one of the most satisfying jobs thus far (excuse my Latin).

Accoustic guitar build week 2

 Cut out the basic shape of the guitar then sanded it down to 2.5mm.

Back bracing cut out and shaped roughly. Next thing was to sand it into the shape on the back mould to give the back of the guitar it curve.

Once the sanding was complete I then glued and clamped it to the back in the mould.

Last thing for the day cut out the length of the sides and get the tail and neck blocks ready for it to be glued.
