Guitar 1202 and 1203 plus Uke 1201
July 3, 2012
Did a little neck work today on Uke 1201. I used the table saw to cut the spanish heel slots and to nibble away at the heel profile.
Also for both 1202 and 1203, I installed the rosettes. The OM has a teflon strip which is removed before pressing in the abalam. The parlor has a pre-manufactured herringbone.
The abalam is pressed into the gap left by the teflon then flooded with CA glue. The shell shown below will be added to the headstock to mirror what’s on the fretboard.
Before routing out the channels for the headstock shell, the plate has been glued to the headstock.
