Progress on BA001 (baritone)






I have been finishing up on the body shape. It's now ready to receive the cavities (for sound & weight + for the electronic parts). I will rout them as soon as I have found a proper router machine...
Meanwhile, browsing through the wood supply, I have found a 'top' (which was actually meant to be a classical guitar back) of a nice peace of European Walnut (juglans regia) and a suitable neck (long enough) of quarter-sawn Honduras Mahogany (swietenia macrophylla).
If I cannot follow up on the progress of the body, at least I can now start constructing the neck and headstock, which is a rather easy and rewarding part of building a guitar.
