FINISHED!

March 7th

I though I was done and noticed a few things that need to be changed.  One more week and it will be perfect.

Nearing Completion.  The first coat of finish.  The new rose wood finger board is really pretty.  So is the flamed maple on the neck.

FRETS

Fretboard is ready to glue.  All the routing is done. 
The next step is to glue the fretboard, fret the neck and then sand like crazy.  I might cut the tuner holes tonight as well.

The body will be glued tonight and then I'll begin the process of carving the shape of the body.
