Working on a neck takes a lot of effort.
It seems to me that you have to be pretty darn lucky to get a good neck. So far I am 3 for 3 on neck shaping, I think it’s time to buy a lotto ticket…
I like the way the fretboard meets the soundhole. Although it makes it a pain to bolt on the neck.
More pictures soon, I promise. I have to engineer my own binding rig now…. yuk.
