Thanks. I have the next two weeks off and I'm going to try and finish this up before January 4th.
Yesterday I shaped the neck closer to what I like and have decided to go with a soft V profile. I like the depth of a soft V and the ease of reaching around it afforded by the flatter sides.
I also spent some time getting the neck mating surface on the guitar body perfecty flat and testing the neck angle. It's pretty close to being where it needs to be. I have to tilt it back slightly and it will be perfect.
Once the parts are aligned I'll glue it all together and string it up.
Then I'll do the final shaping on the neck.
Then the strings come off and it goes out for finishing.
If it looks good enough when it's done perhaps I'll bring to New Hartford and see if they'll give me a job! LOL!
