    New dowel plug for the end of the truss rod in.



    Skunk stripe in



    Stripe trimmed, will finish sanding when I'm ready to do the finishing.




    Fretboard glued on. Crossing all my fingers it's on straight, was a bit of a bugger to line up and clamp.

    If it's not, just say its a fan fret neck.

    All good stuff.

    Hah, well good news, it seems OK. Bit messy but nothing a good clean up and refinish shouldn't sort out. I think its going to work.

    Truss rod adjusts fine. Fingers crossed. I'll give it a good clean up and then assemble it to see how it goes before I spend any time on redoing the finish.
