So close, but not this weekend

Post by johnnparchem »

This weekend
I finished the body including buffing out the rosewood. KTM-SV on shellac on zpoxy.
I padded on another bunch of coats of qualasol on the top of the guitar (without drips on the newly buffed sides:)

I did the final set of the neck. The dove tail locks in very tight with the fret board laying right on the body, with the neck flat. Unfortunatly I did slightly curve the very back of the tail up a little, but I will fill it in after gluing it up. When set, the neck does not rock front to back nor side to side. I suspect I could string it up without glue.

I am really happy how the KTM-SV worked for me. Although I did have my doubts through the process.

I plan to glue the neck and bridge on during the Thanksgiving day weekend.
