Before gluing the back on, I first affix the label.
Next, I do a dry run to make sure everything fits tight.
OK, here it is, all glued up.
After letting the glue setup for 3 hours, I remove all claps.
Here's what is looks like.
Front.....
..... Back.
Next up, putting the inlays in the fretboard.
First we lightly glue the inlays to the fretboard. After the glue sets up, I scribed around each inlay.
These are the scribe lines with chalk rubbed in to make them visible.
The inlays all installed.
Here's a shot of the fretboard sitting on top on the neck.
Ohhhh..nooooo. I screwed up the fretboard when I was trying to sand the inlays flush!
I rounded the edges of the fingerboard which is a big NO NO!!
Ordered a new fretboard from STEWMAC and will have to start it over.
Oh well, it could have been worse.
