All strung up……..not a bad wee job……a great learning experience.

…..and it does play nicely. 😁

Almost forgot to do the dot markers. 😬 

…. only put side dots in……

Cheers @boo. I’ll post pictures of it all strung up soon.

Then I made a wee truss rod cover…. shaped the same as the headstock.

🎸🎶🙏🙂

Then preparing the bridge pin holes for the strings using a reamer.

Then file a wee groove into the front of each hole

🙂🙏🎶🎸

Nice fit

🎸🎶🙏🙂

Next, the saddle. Again squaring up the blank 

Then keep sanding and refining until it fits the saddle slot.

 …

Take it back out and mark out and carve out the grooves for the strings

🎸🎶🙏🙂

Next getting it to the right height and curving over the top…..

🙂🙏🎶🎸
