The peghead view of basic Sj200 build #6. Hardest part was purfling around peghead. I need to practice my miter joints on the corners. The truss rod cover is curly maple.

Done with the planks.

mustach bridge of the SJ200 , it's east indian rosewood with white MOP inlays and cream colored pegs with black dots and a bone saddle.

Full back and back of neck view of Pam's OM build #3. The back and sides are a set of wild figure east indian rosewood. THis was actully the 2nd set of this I bought. The first set I glued to the top of my workbench when trying to fill some pinholes I had found in the back with super glue. What happened is called capitillary action and the glue seeped all the way through the pice to the other side. It only took about 2 seconds, and I realized it after the first second, but by the time I reacted, it was already too late. There were probably ways I could have gotten it off the bench without trashing it but I panicked and tried to pull it off and slide the flattest ruler underneath to lift it off. I learned several things during this ordeal ..... but that's another story .....

Peghead detail of Pam's OM build. Shows name inlay and the rose inlay. The Mahogony piece just behind the nut is another story about a lesson learned concerning masking tape and laquer on sharp edges ... but that's another story .......

Side view of the bottom near the end graft. The area where the figure is obviously interupted , is where I attempted a repair of a catastophy I had in the shop with this guitar just after finishing the body. I was placing the body on a shelf for storage, and lost my grip. THe body fell directly on the edge of my bench model jointer (which is a hard steel edge) and the side had a nice gapping hole in it). Most of the repair was done from the inside of the guitar. The top did not seperate from the curfing. THe split was confined to the area just below the curfing.

close up of mustache shaped bridge of SJ200. I bought the shaped briges from KMG guitars on the web. I didn't want to fool with the bridge shaping yet. I have bought all my bridges from various sources. I will start bridge shaping after my next set of builds> I will use up what I have bought first.
