Back of the body.


Front of the body.




I'm calling it a clamshell body. Top and back will both be carved with a seam more or less in the middle.

I'm kinda basing it on this. It's a Gibson and this design is the basis for Orville's one and only patent. The carved top/back hollow body.

Fretboard slotted and radius sanded. 10" radius, 24.5" scale. Honduran rosewood board. Very hard stuff. It took hours to sand down.

This time, I'm not starting with a bunch of jacked up parts.
So far, it hasn't been bad. Cutting the fret slots was nerve wracking but wasn't really that difficult.

Re: When Does Life Begin?

You folks are so talented. I doubt I could put together a diddly bo from scratch, but I do fine when someone else does all the hard work for me. I can drill holes and screw things together like nobody's business!

Best wishes on your awesome new project.
