All right. That thing is gorgeous. Wow. No mortise! I'm glad it's coming. Fantastic guitar to date. Thanks for the pics John K., we all appreciate the look at the guitar.

Brock, is it possible to UPDATE the OLF GUITAR PROJECT page with this thread and images? Just wondering?Bruce Dickey38750.9724074074

Nice nice -- can we see a picture of the end graft?

I predict strong demand to add Mr. How's body style into the OLF Library of Plans!

Now that I see the top, I wished I had made that rosette a little smaller.

She's just gorgeous guys, you can all be proud of what's accomplished so far!

Serge

Gorgeous!

Brock I don't think the rosette is too large at all.

I must have joined this forum too late to be a part of this, but I'd love to be a part of the next one when it happens!

Wow, it is looking nice. How bout a picture or two of the neck.

NICE! More pics.

OK here is a shot of the rosette. I think it is very attractive and not at all out of proportion.

The neck is just too ugly at this stage to photograph.

Bruce, there will be a mortise in both the top and end of the box to attach the neck

John

awesome, Thanks John

It looks great! I like the body shape a lot, elegant proportions, what are the
dimensions?

Actually if memory serves me the neck mortis is already there. Probably covered by the sides

John's right. the Neck moritse is there. There were notes written all over it to be careful when routing the binding channels.
I don't remember there being a mortise block for the FB extension. John K., were you under the impression that you were doing a double neck mortise?

I was under that impression. I do believe there is a block in there. I don't mind not doing that but I was also under the impression that Lance was in favor of a completely unboltable neck. Either way, its all fine with me.

John

I hope you are right and I'm wrong. It's been so long since I've seen it that I honestly can't remember. But you might might want to check to make sure there's a plate before you hit it with a router.

Nice going, guys! It will be a very attractive instrument, nice rosette, elegant body shape. I am just piling on here, aren't I?

Yes the block is in there for the FB extension Mortise as well. There is a picture up in the OLF guitar linl (top of front page).

Very nice guys, great work.
