Neck shaping

The neck attachment is approaching. I spent my day off first fretting, then rasping, filing, planing, shaving and sanding the neck plank to dimensions. It's a critical phase that affects the playability the most. So far so good. The only problem was, that I had drilled a hole for the neck bolt too deep. So there appeared a hole in the heel that had to be plugged. That's propably going to show through the finish a bit. Sorry, Pekka.

Heel cap is made of flamed maple

...as is the fb binding. We'll see if we bind the headstock as well.

The color of the neck and body seem to fit pretty nice. The maple bound koa looks nice to my eye too.

Hiscox case will protect the package nicely
