Nice to catch up with this thread and see the guitar taking shape. That Rio rosewood fretboard looks great - a much under-appreciated part of guitar aesthetics in my view!

The Rio Rosewood bridge blank is sanded on the top to match the top's curvature.  The saddle slots are then routed using this jig.  Here's the result.  The rear of the bridge is ramped and the bridge-pin holes drilled.  The bridge-pin holes are then counter-sunk.  The rest of the bridge is shaped.  The bridge is carefully positioned on the top and the outer two bridge-pin holes are drilled through.  The bridge is held on with two bridge pins through these holes.  |

I just spent 20 minutes updating this thread and lost all the data after my fat fingers pushed the wrong button----again.
Damn.
Anyway, Dave has finished the guitar, and wow! Just wish I could get my mitts on it!

Don’t think so, Bernd. It’s just the latest and greatest creation by Dave that will be heading north at some point soon (I hope!)
