Here is what I started to make as the whole neck shape, but then realized that the top was to wide and it just wasn't going to work. |
Here is a profile of the neck as it tapers towards the tuners! I then popped it out then added four coats of spray lacquer. I would lightly use steel wool in between coats until it was looking nice!! |
This is where I masked out the sound hole I was gonna do a fancy one but glued the top before I did it!!!!! |
Here is a shot of my notch for the neck |

Here I clamped down the fretboard as I trimmed and filed the fret-wire. |
Very cool using a COHIBA box. it looks really sharp. The fret board looks wide to me? I like having the sound hole in the corner so as not to cut into the lettering. Very nice job. I am jealous. I have no such skills at putting something together like that. Not only no skills, no equipment. Great job!
ReplyDeletethe fret board is 1.5 at nut down to 2 so its a little larger but I like the extra spacing I did same with the gourd.
