Well, they don't look like much now, do they?. However, a most critical fitting has been done to all three mando's, and that is the fitting of the neck to the body. No only do the necks have to fit visually [perfectly], but the necks also must be perfectly aligned lengthwise, and have the proper neck angle as well.
Now, the necks come back off for shaping, for the fretboard to be installed, for the peghead veneers to be installed and so on.
Also next, the creation of yet another handmade jig, this time to cut the binding channel around the top where the sides join.
Building musical instruments is about as much fun as a person can have, at least with one's cloths still on.

  1. I am curious, would it change the sound if one were naked? or just look like it sounds better?
    Three at one go, you are mass producing!
