I'm fitting a small rosewood bevel to this guitar, I've started shaping the bevel but need to clean the curves up a bit. I'll do that when I clean-up the sides...  |

Bit more work on the neck recently, starting with a quick check on the fretboard positioning:  Followed by cutting the pocket for the neck extension:  And fitting the extension itself:  Moving up the neck I've started the carving around the headstock/neck blending in the two areas:  Getting there:  The carbon fibre bars have now been bonded into position and the two-way truss rod |
