Next step in the process... taking the CNC cut body pieces and assembling them with vintage, slotted wood screws and glue, as per the original. One deviation from the original was my use of tee nuts on the knife edge screws that run through the body and out the back. On the original, penny washers and half size nuts were used, but I decided to use the tee nuts because it meant less material from the oak insert had to be cleared out and filled in. Other than that, I tried to use screws of the same general size, based on the x-rays of the guitar. I also opted to paint the visible chambers black using Bob Ross black gesso paint, partly because it's what I had to hand and partly as a tribute to the gentle hippy himself. Now it's a happy little guitar replica.

Big thanks to Doug Short for our seemingly unending collaboration on this build. Check out his build and lots more info here: dsgb.net

Next step is veneering!
