    Headstocks have been rough cut, and then routed to shape using my templates. The necks have been sanded to 240g.
    I have changed the nut on the rosewood neck to a bone nut.

    Also did a rough job filing the nut string slots to get them just above where I want them (down to a nut action of 1.7 mm). I forked out for some Hosco Bass Nut Slot files - which seem very easy to use. I like the fact that these files are slightly triangular as it makes them a lot more rigid.
