Archtop Progress

The archtop is finally getting close to completion.  Here she is in the white.  The body is complete, and the neck is almost finished.  A few tweaks and she goes to finish.  Spruce top, curly maple back and sides.  The neck is curly maple with a 1/4" center lamination of indian rosewood with pins.  Fretboard is ebony with EVO frets.  Must make headplate and truss rod cover, heel cap, which will be made of wenge.  Finish will be a satin tobacco sunburst.  One volume control only for the single Classic 57 Gibson humbucking pickup.
