Coming Soon...

In about a week this Ash Tele that I started working on a long time ago, will finally come up from the basement. I'll finish up the electronics some time this week.

The 8-string lap steel will be the next one up from the basement. after a few final coats of Tru-Oil, I'll begin the wet sanding and polishing. Then it's just a matter of fitting the hardware and the electronics. Shouldn't be more than a couple weeks.

Lap Steel Project

In the past couple of weeks I've made some major progress on the lap Steel.
First, I routed out the interior of the headstock. I decided to go in this direction as the strings were rubbing against the side of the wood.

This weekend I began the final sanding. The body has now been sanded from 80 grit through 320 grit. Next weekend, I will sand one more time with 320 grit. And then I will glue the fret board in place.
