Bindings done!

The body and bindings are done for Marks guitar. Its on to the neck, and then off to finish. Once this one is off I will be working on a pair of twin Cocobolo OM fingerstylist guitars, An Addy/Hog D12, and an LS/Madrose E2! WOW! I cant wait to get going on those! :-)

More on Marks E2

Here are a few updates on Marks E2. For this pic the neck is just sitting in place, the mortise has not been cut yet. But it sort of gives you an idea of the over all package.




Here are all the separate parts.



Here the top is being glued down to the sides.


Here the sides are being "blocked" into the body mold to hold everything square and true while the top is glued down.


Last image is the braced and fully voiced top.


Today I will be cutting the binding ledges and bending the ebony bindings. Tomorrow will start the tedius binding process.
