Should have this neck done on Monday.

[anziguitarworks]

Started making a neck for that body I made at the beginning of February.

Purple.

In the past few weeks, I bound my acoustic body in flame maple, inlaid my logo (which I cut by hand from mother of pearl) into the acoustic headstock, and routed pickup, tremolo, and control cavities into my electric body.

Neck blank has been made into a neck by use of a rasp, a file, and sandpaper. Also cut out the headstock on the bandsaw

Sorry I haven’t posted in a couple weeks, everything I’ve done has been so visually minimal that it hasn’t warranted a post in my opinion. However, this is where I am as of today. My acoustic body is glued together, and my electric neck is ready to be carved.

Made some bracing for my soundboard, and got work done on my electric neck.

[anziguitarworks]

Productive day today! Finished up the rosette, carved my back braces, cut my soundhole, and glued in neck and tail blocks

[anziguitarworks]

Started my rosette today, and also got the veneer glued to my body

[anziguitarworks]

Glued in my back braces, bent the sides, and cut out the electric body

[anziguitarworks]

Got my truss rod into my acoustic neck today, cut channels for the rosette, got my electric neck blank, and also got my electric veneer all seamed up.

[anziguitarworks]

Got my headstock veneer down to proper thickness, finished my back braces, cut slots in the seam strip for them, and got my fingerboard location set on the neck

[anziguitarworks]

Glued the seam strip into the acoustic back, and then sanded it to correct radius and thickness. Also got my electric body blank glued together

[anziguitarworks]

Spent a fair amount of time making up back braces today. Also got my headstock design drawn up.

Body template has been made for my electric
