Guitars ready to be finished.

Almost there

more soundport

Here you have 2 pictures of the soundport that #125 will have. On top before the back was glued on and below, with back and bindings. The port is still in "raw" meaning that it not finally shaped. That is one of the last things I do before finishing.

# 125 is going to have an inlayed soundport, so here I´m gluing the patch before cutting and shaping the port.

assembly started

#125 in the solera, ready for the assembly

Here´s the soundboard for 125 and 126.
I thought I didnt have more of these very pale Cedar soundboards, but in the end I find one, which is what my client wanted first.
