I went ahead and finished the All Sniggly guitar.
My first pinless bridge too!

Needs a good buff and a set up, but it plays. Sounds pretty good too!

Hmmm... that really looks like bloodwood or padauk. Are you really sure its Amazon? Amazon rw looks like Brazilian, sometimes like Honduras. Here are a couple of mine:

I got the neck attached to the garland of the viola da gamba. Spent some time making up a work board, too, which I discovered after I got this far along that I should have made first. Its kind of like building a classical guitar on a solara but from the back first.

There is a bunch of inlay to do on the back so I had to make up a bunch of veneer lines. Got the bend on the back joined, too.

Really nice stuff, guys. I love these threads.

I'm getting these necks glued...doing the last of the fretting. I have three more not pictured. These are going to be photographed and then I'm launching the website in earnest...I just have a shell site up now. These guitars will give me something to show off at the website. :)

I'm getting the hang of those neck joints.

Love the figured Purple Heart fretboard and....take a look at that Argentinian Brown Ebony fretboard. That's a beautiful homogenous light brown.
