Took a while for me to resume building, but I was spending a couple of days visiting in sunny Barcelona, Spain.

I managed to make the magical moment of glueing the neck to the body.

I read on several sites that it's not advised to use regular PVA wood-glue. A few years ago I made a side-table with a glass top, & I glued that with 2 component epoxy. And I know how strong that stuff is.
So I thought this will work fine for my LP.

First thing that came to mind was that you have to be very careful with this glue. As my old man calls this stuff: "Strube".
A Dutch wordplay on STRont uit een tUBE.
Or in English: sh*t out of a tube.

First I checked if the neck was still straight by installing the bridge & placing a thread along the neck to the bridge.

Next I put the epoxy in the cavity of the body & not on the neck. So when I shove the neck in, it's pushing the glue further in.
And any exess glue has to be removed immediately.

I had this sit for a day or 2 before I removed the clamp.
And this was the result:



The body from one side:



And from the other side:



Then it was time to go to Barcelona.

This week I ordered a few trussrod covers, so they will be in the mail the next few days, & this weekend I'm planning on doing the soldering.
