Not the most exciting update today. But a necessary step in the build: deciding on the colour!
This is my final colour test before deciding whether to go natural or not. This will be sanded back before adding a sunburst style effect over the top. #guitar #diy #guitarbuild

Kept changing my mind - adding colour then taking it off. I got to this point and my orbital sander died so I guess we will see how they finish up. #guitar #guitarbuild

Anyone have any advice/tips for doing a Venetian cutaway on an acoustic guitar?
I really don’t want to crack the wood and have to buy more.
I’m planning to try with mango wood and if that works then spalted tamarind for another build.
My fallback is to do a Florentine.

I finished it to the point where I installed strings and played it a bit.
The octave at the 12th fret is all good (my last major worry).
It looks done but I’m going to take a rasp to the neck and round it more before calling it done.

And now there are frets.
I used a fret press in my drill press for most of them except the ones that will go over the body of the guitar.
I had made the 2 file holders previously, 1-90 degrees, 1-at a bevel.
Lots of filing. They’re level.

Working on the neck.
I talked myself into doing inlay for the fret position markers.
I would have had to somehow replace the fingerboard if I screwed this up.
It went ok.

I did the scary part.
I used a router to cut the mortise in the guitar body and the tenon on the neck.
I must be living right because it fits flush on each side with zero adjustment. 😮
Built a cradle to hold it steady.

After attaching the top I did the scary part where I used the flush trim router to bring it flush with the sides. No tear out so yay!
Next is setting the neck angle and cutting the mortise and tenon. Another scary part.
