That's a great shot! Really nice spool clamps you've got there, Doc!

Thanks Daniel.  I've used them a couple times already.  They sure are helpful!!!

Wow, you're doing nice work: that's going to be a beauty when it's done. Those clamps are brilliant!

Thanks Denis.  I sure hope it turns out well!

I had to rig up a template on top of the body to rout for the neck tenon.  So far, so good.............

The side was curved, so I had to use a wedge to level things up.





Checked it half way for fit, and so far, so good.

[drbassman]

Got the heel joint routed and I'm working on trimming the tenon to size.......  also all routed for the WBW binding.

Coming along nicely...

Coming along nicely... 

I'll be gluing the neck on soon after I do the binding!

I like the triple dot inlays.   did you add the outside ones?

Nope, it came that way from the factory.  I like them too.

[drbassman]

Picked up a repro guard and genuine Hofner control panel.  Got the top binding on too.

Thanks guys!  I hate binding, I still have to work on my technique.  I always have one or two spots where a 1/4" section isn't glued down all the way.  Really pisses me off!!!!

[Highlander]

Don't envy you that one little bit, Bill... 

[shadowcastaz]

I do !
