It's spring & the garden has needed a bit of sorting (I banked a few "brownie" points with Mrs Norris!), so not a huge amount of progress on the guitar. This is partly due to having made the neck pocket template to match the instructor's router bit & guide bush... and then running out of time to cut it at the last session... and a public holiday this week so no classes.
Anyway, the neck is coming on nicely. Down to 320 grit now and we're starting to get smooth. I'm quite pleased with the volute (is it called that on a Fender style neck?) transition - that's smoothed out nicely. The binding was a slight worry (next time I'll shape the neck AFTER fitting the bound board), but has turned out well - no gaps/glue lines, and I've not gone through it blending in the neck wood.
Another hour or so at the 320 grit should have it silky smooth. Then I'd better start on some more router templates for bridge, pickups and rear control chamber.
