MD black wood version for the body assembly is done. Final sanding is still needed for both MD and SSJ bodies. After finish sanding sessions, I will make mortise for the neck joint. This time, I will use mortise joint for the neck attachment to the body. I have been using the bolt on joint method. However, there is no chance to have the neck re-setting in the distant future. I decide to change the neck joint method to a permanent neck joint method. Also, the mortise joint is able to minimize weight increase. Next week, I will do the neck making.
