    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.

    Strange, for some reason one of the photos turned over

    Then, it so happened that our communication stopped, and I had to put the bar in the box for a long time. I recently found this box with a neck and decided to finish it.

    Hello! I am impressed with the work of the members of the forum. It looks like masterpieces are being made here. I decided to share my work with you. I will be glad to your advice. To be precise, the concept I thought of only for the neck. The neck will be one piece of maple, with a traditional truss rod on the back of the neck (Fenderstyle). The headstock is in the shape of a horse. At the twelfth fret, there is a curly inlay. What the body will be like, I do not yet know. I started making the neck in the workshop of my friend. This is our local guitar master. That was three years ago. Here's what I got:
