Neck making 4

     I have been continuously working on the neck construction project.This week, I did finger-board making, install, neck outline shaping, heel portion rough cut, and heel cap install. Now, both MD and Nylon models revile really sexy outlines. MD model has a 44mm wide at 0-fret, 25.4" scale, slim 14th fret joint neck, and Nylon model has a 50-mm wide at 0-fret, 650mm scale, low profile 12th fret  joint neck. Both models have approximately 5-mm raised neck setting at the neck jointing position. Finger board on the raised neck is isolated from the guitar top above 12th or 14th frets depending on models. This design makes best sound quality above the neck joint portion due to the enough supporting material underneath of the finger-board.
     Next week, I install fret wires, and start neck shaping.
