Today she begins to look like a guitar!
Bracing is finished and sides are attached to the top.

A little necessary bit of cleanup near the headblock then....

.....next week I'll fit the back and rout for binding which I was also able to
get bent today.

Chris that is looking great. I've always liked the contrasting x-brace cap, I think it's cool.

Sweet sweet sweet.

You know what Chris, ... Looking at those braces, I predict that guitar is going to be a CANON! A very sweet sounding one, at that!
