Re: My Ooops project
Now I started on the fret board. I installed the frets, filed the edges down to the side and installed the Fret board position markers and side markers.

Re: My Ooops project
What are those two metal things on the neck where the fret board gets installed?

Re: My Ooops project
Those are guide pins. The back of the fret board has holes that line up with them.

Although I "finished" my OM right before Christmas, I just installed the side markers 2 days ago. LOL Your guitar is coming along really nicely Benjy.

Re: My Ooops project
Thanks Diane!
Time to get this thread caught up!
I measured and marked the bridge placement.
Sanded everything down and sprayed the body and neck with sanding sealer. Wow! This is getting "real" now! Can't wait to finish this up.
I can't get my pictures to load so I will try and add them later.

Re: My Ooops project
Tuesday, I finished work on time and I was able to get a few coats of Watco Lacquer on the body and neck. So Saturday morning I did some level sanding and prepped the body for another round of clear. I really do like the sunburst finish so I decided to go for it. Here are a few pictures.
