Here's some progress from the last few days. Neck is already rough shaped, and headstock bindings glued. The fingerboard got a compound radius from 16 to 20 inches. More pics to follow.
These bars align the neck nicely. The threaded inserts anchor both the neck and the fingerboard to the guitar.
The pickguard's got to be a bit more reddish, or whaddaya think, Jouni?
