Back glued on.

Last night I glued on the back. After I took the clamps off, I flush trimmed the excess and put the neck on just for fun.

My wife caught me playing a little air guitar...

I'll be on vacation next week (in-laws). But I'm taking my bridge blank with me to play with (my father-in law is a wanna-be luthier with lots of tools:) Just kidding Ron!
After that I'll get started on routing the binding channels.

Hey Schultz,
Nice progress you have on the guitar. looking good. I found your blog after googling for "guitar top deflection".
one question regarding top deflection:
Can you refer me to the instructions regarding this test? I was looking for actual numbers, such as :"spruce for OOO acoustic guitar should deflect 7 mm for a 350g weight" but couldn't find such numbers. by the way, why did you do the test after gluing the braces? doesn't it supposed to be tested before?

I am a beginner myself , and your blog is such a nice idea, considering doing so myself.

I am currently building my second and third. a double-O and a weissenborn.
you can see my first work at
