In my last thread asking for advice about fitting the neck joint I was asked to post some progress pics. Here they are.

Its taken about 3 months so far but the ends in sight !

So anyway a few Pics:

The Body


Decided to keep things simple for my first - No Purflings !


Rough neck fitted to body


Next step - The fretboard.............. Cachalote39094.4927083333

G'day Cachalote,
                   I reckon you have done very well in a three month time frame . Looks very accurate and superbly built . This is going to be a beauty . Well done mate

Coming on very nicely, I like the aesthetics, it's going to look great under a bit of French polish

Cach, that's a good looking box man. Congratulations. I thought you were joking that you are in Spain. Then I see your MYspace and sure enough you are in Barcelona. Excellent work.

One of those photos, the guitar appears to be floating in air... optical illusion since it's turned 90 degrees.

I couldn't read a single word on your Myspace, what language is that?

Thanks for the kind comments guys. This place has been a great help so far and I really apreciate the help I've recieved.

Hopefully I'll be able to make some progress on the neck over the weekend.
