In the same way as truss rod groove. Install the stop to the side. Use the Dremel.

I meant that it is easier to bend wet wood with cuts. Cuts do not exclude material wetting)) I even saw craftsmen who folded the top with a hot iron with a steamer))

Semyon Padalka makes cuts from the back of the top. This makes it easier to bend the wood.

It is very difficult to make a choice. All presented buildings are worthy of the "Guitar of the Year" title. It's a shame that I can only cast one vote.

Scott, thanks for the comment. I have never played pine guitars. Therefore, I decided on such an experiment.

Beautiful wood. I will follow the assembly with interest.

Thank you, Bizman62! Let's see what my pine board will be.

I have heard a lot of comments against the use of pine in the guitar. I have also seen many beautiful pine guitars. I am interested in your opinion on the pine body.

And worked on the body of the guitar. I wanted to use pine.

This week I glued a decorative wooden sleeve into the anchor key hole.

Hi! I think I forgot to tell you how I made the truss rod. I used a 5mm steel bar. I sliced the threads on both sides rod. On one side I riveted a lock nut, and on the other side I screwed on an adjusting nut. Before installing truss rod in the neck guitar, I put a shrink wrapped on the rod.

I have a few thoughts on further building the guitar. But I can't form the final design out of them yet. For example, fret markers can be made in the shape of horseshoes. Or in a hollow-body horseshoe-shaped f-hole. Also thought of mustang body. But I don't wish use its shape.

Interesting project. I like. By the way, this season I also saved a small log of poplar.

I agree with you. I do not use this planer for finishing. Thanks. A good idea. Perhaps I will use it.
