The natural finish is so sweet - brings back memories of my first 4001, a '79. And that's some great figuring on the neck. You're doing a great job Tom!

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Body and neck done - looking forward to getting stuck into the fingerboard today and then neck glueing!
Well the neck is on and I've put the machine heads on to try and align the bridge. Every stage is getting a little high pressure now - bit worried about getting the bridge on aligned and the right distance!
That's looking absolutely wonderful Tom, nice job!Originally Posted by Tom Bradley

I used Titebond Liquid Hide Glue on the neck - I clamped for 30 hours but the 'squeeze out' still feels a little gummy - is this normal? the neck feels solid enough.
