Here is a closeup of the glue joint. Not a bad joint, don't even need a back strip but am thinking about a herringbone pattern or a maple-ebony-maple strip inlayed.

 

Here is the actual front of the back.

 

Back glued up and guitar layed out. The layout is about 1/2 inch oversized. Just got it to fit.

Here I have added a removable paper template outlined with cork so that the top will not wobble when building. This takes in account for the arch in the guitar top.

 

My new Workboard

I made this out of 3/4 Baultic Birch plywood. I will drill a hole in the workboard for the sound hole to add a clamp to start building the guitar in a few days.

Rosewood Sides

Here is a picture of the sides after bending them using the bending jig and a heating blanket. I used stainless steel on top and bottom of the wood to get the bend both smooth and defect free. Also not the form for setting up the guitar sides. Works very good so far.

 

Scarf cutting jig

Scarf Cutting Jig

Another jig that I have made to cut the 17 degree scarf joint for the guitar neck. You clamp the wood to the front side of the jig does a perfect job, I didn't even have to touch up the joint. The joint was ready for glue up on the neck glue up jig.

J-200 Bending Form

This is one of the jigs that I have just made to build the J-200. I made it from 3/4 Baultic Birch plywood.
