Got the body pretty much done. Sides and binding look good. I learned a lot on this body.

Here are some updates
Yea this is the neck in my blown out rod thread. I believe I have adequately patched it. I torqued the rod pretty good to put pressure on it and nothing budged. I’m not happy about it nor am I proud of it. So, no pics of the back of the neck:)
No fretwork has been done. Just bolted the neck on to see how things jived.

I’m really stepped out of what I’ve done before on this one, and it shows. It isn’t perfect, but I honestly believe it will play good and sound nice when it’s all said and done.

Pressing forward as best I can, learning, getting better

Looks good. I must say the wenge spruce top 000 I just finished sounds astoundingly good. It's a great combo me thinks. It's looking good, don't let the neck get to you. You know on down the road if the guitar sounds good you could always make another neck for it.
