For this, my first effort, (that suggests there’ll be at least a second!) I’m using some pieces of sapele that have been lying around for some time.

Love this. I’d just like to know what you’re using to trim the sides in the last photo. Kind’a looks like a pull saw, but I can’t tell for sure. Your jigs are terrific. If I ever get around to building my own guitar, I’m gonna steal your jigs.

Great contuinous pictures. And I can see that the five finger clamps are coming to good use.

Bubbs – Yes, it’s a Japanese style pullsaw. As for the jigs, they’re mostly from Jonathan Kinkead’s book: “Build your own acoustic guitar”
