Just getting underway with the thread, no pictures yet.
Mock build done.
Neck pocket was loose fitting and have glued a couple of thin veneer strips on bottom edge of pocket on body, will lightly sand back for snug fit. Heel on body (approx 2cm long) needs sanding about 1mm ish to allow heel of neck to fit flush to body.
This build is going to be a slow moving project with no specific completion time. Will be worked on as and when time allows.

Oh dear...look at the date and the Year....I am waiting on a few bits and pieces to arrive that will allow me to finish off the neck......and then all will be revealed....(hopefully).......
Took a bit of a risk with the finishing and have gone for a slightly relic style approach....hopefully photos will show later...
A question for the experts please:
My maple fingerboard has a really great grain and I really do not like the printed dots on the fretboard....do they remove easily with sanding or do they penetrate the timber to much?
Input appreciated, Thanks
Sam
