Great video Steve!! Looking good...

OMG!

@powerful - I did answer this Q including dimensions here if you missed it...👀 short answer is - don't worry, doesn't matter, make it whatever you like:

Thanks mark but it’s sorted. Maybe you can tell me the depth of sides at the deepest point ie lower bout area. I’m going with 100 mm before bottom goes on. Am I somewhere near. Thanks

@powerful We can send you replacement kerf lining - email carol@baileyguitars.co.uk if you are stuck - cheers!

Welcome @warmvalves to the Guitar Making World like you i'm also new on this platform, but it is one of the best place for the knowledge.

@rocknroller912 I definitely won't be adjusting the neck angle then, that's away beyond my skill level. I'll not be attempting to remove the fretboard either. I think my first step is to adjust the t...

Glued the scarf joint today. It may or may not come out good, I'll know tomorrow when I take the clamps off and start checking it. If it's good and tight, then the game is on to measure and see how mu...
