Looking forward to you building the neck.

pretty much there bar the shouting. Neck to bolt on, ferules to buy and fit to the back but holes drilled perfectly spaced for them :) I'd finish it off and string it up through the bridge - but no strings, the cupboard is bare :(

Anyway, some more pics after 2 or 3 coats of tru-oil, thats all she's getting. Just enough to pop out the grain a bit more but still feel organic.

Liking the minimalist look on this a lot, nice work. But you have to do something about that invisible 4mm off centre join :lol: :rofl:
