Re: Martin 00 12 Fret - cutaway with arm bevel #12

Post by johnnparchem »

Kevin, I do like the jig, so I am not sure it will leave the shop. I can also take out the slot templates and I have a set of tuner hole guides that work with a non slot head stock.

I did finally get the fussy work done. I put the ramps in at the end of the slots. I was going to go with square ramps but after looking at a few on the net, I was not sure I cared for the look. I also added the dots on to the top and side of the fret board.

I had a bit more time so I finished the day by cutting and installing my logo.

Next weekend I should be able to start the finish process.

Looks great, you're doing a very good job of cutting out the logo, I see the air cleaner hanging...good going there too.
I was of course kidding about renting the jig.

Thanks Kevin, the air cleaner is nice. I am also wearing a powered full face mask as I have been having problems with the dust.

I pore filled the back, sides and neck with Zpoxy and finished sanded the top, so once I place the bridge I am ready to spray.

I am getting very close to finishing this guitar. I should have it setup by Friday or Saturday. I could not wait to post a preview from my phone camera.

Thank you,

It was a fun guitar to build, challenging. For me a major part of the fun of the projects is posting the blogs of my work.
