After install the neck, additional truss rod channels were made for graphite rods and an adjustable truss rod. As you can see the first photo, this design has through truss rods reinforcement from the nut to the sound hole. Therefore, there is almost zero change to the neck rising issue from the neck joint. Steel strings guitars that have Martin type dove tail joint have common issue for the neck re-setting requirement due to the neck rising issue.
For installing the adjustable rod, it requires a thin wood cover over the installed adjustable rod for sealing the finger board gluing. Finger board edge at the sound hole also needs a fine alignment as shown in the second picture. Neck joint at the cut-a-way portion was also precisely aligned as perfectly seamless joint as shown in the 3rd picture.
Next week, I finalize neck shaping, and then I will take final sanding.
