Ok...here's the body ready to mate with he neck. I stained the body and then applied a thin coat of lacquer to seal the surface, as well as protect it while I work on things.
You can see this is a long neck tenon in this shot.
Another
shot of the tenon pocket. You
can also see that the top carve is kind of flat, like vintage or historic
Les Pauls.
Here's a shot of the neck tenon with the fret board glued to it.
A
shot of the peghead end of the neck. The area where the peghead arches
down into the neck shaft is modified . It's higher up towards the peghead
, Kluson style pickups won't fit, but Schallers or Sperzls will.
Here's the peghead ready to
buff out..
Here's another shot of the top carve from slightly above.
You can clearly see the top is almost flat in the triangle from the stop
tail up to where the neck joins the body.
Another view of the top.
