A lot of neck works

     There are many detailed neck works I have done past couple of weeks. I sound a worm hole in he heal section. This is no able to fill without sacrificing detailed beauty. So, I decide to inlay an Ebony triangle. Second and third pictures show detailed work for the worm hole fix. After the worm hole fix, I installed a heal cap. Heal cap has block-white borer for more detailed beauty. The black order is able to match to the triangle ebony inlay. I also made three truss rod channels in the body portion. I also made two dowel holes for the neck joint. Two wooden pins are Epoxy installed for the permanent neck installation.
     Next steps for the neck work are truss rod install, finger board install, finger board radiusing, neck final shape, and fret wire install. This project still have a lot of making steps.

SSJ Neck Joint

Neck Joint for the SSJ model is completed. After install the neck, this guitar needs to install two graphite rods and a truss rod. Then, next step is the neck shaping and fingerboard install. Finger board outline cut and the neck head outline cuts are already completed. So, remaining guitar making steps are not much. This guitar has an Ebony finger board with 24.5" scale. Nut width is 44mm and finger board width at 14th fret is 57mm. This finger board profile is quite standard for finger-style players.
