neck and bridge

Got some time to carve the neck & heel in the daytime and route & shape the bridge in the evening. Here are the results. Everything still needs loads of sanding and filling and there's a bit (0.5mm) wider and longer bridge saddle in the mail. Routing the bridge saddle slot with a dremel tool falls in the category of PIA-tasks. There must be a better way...
The tuning peg holes are deliberately off-set (well, not all off-setting was on purpose...) to ensure a clear path for each string from nut to post.

Once the bridge takes its lemon oil, it's going to fall in with the rest of the tones nicely.  Well, the stripes are going to stay perpendicular to the rest...


The bridge shape is once again following the SCGC path.
