Here’s my first gallery of photos showing the progress of Ashley’s guitar. It begins with a photo of the raw lumber (or tonewood) I started out with—and takes you through several steps of construction.
- Here’s the raw lumber.
- The top & body joined.
- Roughing-out interior.
- More roughing-out interior.
- Interior completely routed.
- Here’s the back.
- Gluing on the top.
- Trimming the top flush.
- Body with edges rounded.
- Sawing an opening for controls.
- Sanding the opening to size.
- Semi-complete guitar body.
