I did not update for the Lattice Nylon project. However, I have been working very heard for this project. Body making is completed. Also, neck making is almost done. I used a Monterey cypress for the neck. I wanted to make a white neck. I found a large piece of Monterey cypress many years ago. So, I simply garbed this material. This material is a bit too spongy for the neck. So, I installed three graphite rods. I am not sure that this material makes a stable neck. If this neck does not work well, I will make an other neck using the Spanish cypress, and swap it. This is a beauty of the bolt on neck joint design. This guitar has the sloped neck design without gluing the finger board above 12th fret to the top. The finger board above 12th fret is floating from the sound board. This design is just like a arched top guitar. This design helps to make a better body resonance. After sanding sessions for the body and the neck, I will move to the finishing work.
