Once the fretboard is in the right position it's held in place with two locating pins. Attachment : PXL_20230503_142937626.jpg A little bit of sanding to the soundboard between the soundhole a...

Then I glued it in. Attachment : PXL_20230421_143102098.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230421_142310718.jpg 🙂🙏🎶🎸
