Set #5 Triming the binding & finsh body sanding
Posted: Sat Jan 31, 2009 8:29 pm
Well, I let the glue dry overnight, this morning I peeled all the tape off, then I took my little scraping tool and scraped the top and sides of the binding flush.
Drilling the hole for the Side-Jack.
Routing the radius in the back edge.
Belt and drum sanding the back contour shape.
And hours and hours of hand sanding.
"Wha-La" From boards to bodies.
Well, I'm putting the bodies in the rack for now and starting the necks, after I set the necks I'll do the routs for the pickups, the 2 bodies that have the concave bottom carve are the "59"
AKA 61-62 Joe Maphis style guitars, they don't need much of a pickup rout, the're going to have the flat mounted "Dog Eared" pickups, also they will be routed for the recessed vibratos units. Going to have the mistake plates too.
