Mornin' kids!

/

I woke up early today and roughed in some body contours on the 71 proto before heading to the office. Definitely a great way to start one's day.

Seems like an apropriate song!

Dust masks are important. As is decorating said dust mask. Also, I love my microplanes!

Roughed in the forearm bevel

Roughed in the cutaway contour and the lap contour

Here's how it is now; clearly a lot more work to do, but it's time to hop in the shower and go to work.

 

 

Some progress on the '71

/

Since it’s been too cold to shoot the remaining clear coats on some guitars that are almost done, I did some work on a couple of necks for the ’71 prototypes; nothing too major, just shaping the blanks, routing the truss rod channel, then adding the fretboard to one of them. The one without a fretboard will have a headstock veneer, so I need to get that on before moving further. So here ya go.
