Here are a few shots of my latest. A Mahogany 000 with Bear Claw soundboard. Bindings are EI Rosewood as is rosette, bridge, fretboard and headstock veneer.
No completed yet. Fretboard and bridge not glued up yet as I usually bolt everything up and do the setup work and then disassemble to do finishing. The finish is Nitro with minimum coats and needs finish buffing.
I got this brain fart when doing the back to use the cutout from the rosette and glue it up to the back so when you look through the soundhole you would see a shadow image of the rosette. Inlaid some abalam to match the rosette. Not real happy with the look in the end. Maybe because it didnt follow tradition.
Now I need some advice. Some of you may recall my lengthy post on this guitar. The neck and fretboard did not fit and we all guessed in the end this was due to my sanding the neck block more agressivly than the rest of the top of the rim when sanding with a dish. I was able to compensate by thinning the fretboard at the soundboard area and combined with some work on the neck angle. As it turned out, it plays beautiful with a great action, great tone and good volume.
However (I hate that word), I ended up with a slight gap between the fretboard and soundboard at the very edge of the body. The freboard is not yet glued up and I dont want to force fit as it will impact the playability.
Any advice on how to cover up this defect is appreciated. Was thinking of making a rosewood wedge?
