Thanks for your input ethereal. Nice looking single cut there by the way. The body thickness is not that thin. it looks thinner than it is beacause it is rounded over at the back, however I personally don't think that for a set neck 12mm is all that bad. I'm of the view that more contact area in the joint is not necessarily better. I know I'm opening a can of worms here, but I personally think that as long as you have a good contact on all surfaces free from air pockets and too much glue, then the only contact you need is enought surface area (including the sides) for a good structural joint.
Cheers,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the comments mate. No can of worms at this end in fact, my conclusions are very much the same. It really is incredible just how strong titebond is! Before I began building, I never imagined that ONLY glue would hold it all together!
Really enjoying your build thread and best of luck as it progresses

Here's another I've started recently. The fretboard is figured NG Rosewood with green abalone inlay.

That can of worms you eluded to with Ethereal looks like it just exploded over your nice clean fretboard, Peter.

Nice design Peter. You could apply for arts grants with inlay like that.

yeh yeh. very funny... I must admit I did have a bit of a chuckle regarding the comments. When I showed my wife the design she said "Nice. it doesn't realy look like anything. but it looks good" which is absolutely correct. It isn't really supposed to be anything, however with the abalone it kind of resembles sea grass? maybe? Anyway more to come soon of the neck of this build.
Cheers,
Peter

Thanks Andrew. Have some pics of preping the neck. The neck is laminated New Guinea Rosewood and Rock Maple with a figured NGR face plate and maple accent.
Below is routing the neck taper.

Thanks Andrew,
The blue rubber mat is just from Clarks Rubber. I don't actually use the plane as a plane. It's not worth its weight as firewood as far as a plane goes, but it makes an excellent sanding block for leveling.
Cheers,
Peter

Hey Blacklabb, sorry I missed your post. The body for the NGR is also going to be NGR with a maple cap, however I haven't got the top yet.
Here's some more progress on the fireball. It just needs a bit of tidying up, grain filler on the back and sides, and it's ready for a spray.
Cheers,
Peter
