Here is my completed SM 000. Obviously I owe big thanks to many on this forum who assisted with issues along the way. The neck tongue is not glued yet as I wanted to set it up and check neck angle, etc and luckily it is right on. I will glue it at next string change.

It plays great. The sound is a bit stiff but will hopefully open up with some more play time. Anyway here she is.

Congratulations, the guitar looks great! Some never glue down the fret board extension.

nice work.

why does the fretboard ext. need to be glued down anyway?

I don't think it has to be glued, just think it will keep things more stable/steady at the bolt on neck joint is all. I might just run a little glue in there and tack it down

Thanks Kevin. It feels good indeed. Honestly it may be a long while before I would build another one. Time and money always short on.
