First started with a ash body. this picture is with the edge molding glued up and taped while i am waiting for it to dry. 
Next, I cut out some maple, cut a slot for the truss rod, and silicone it in
I cut the fret board to size and glued it to the neck blank.
Installed the fret wire, dots, and carved the back of the neck.
Here is a pic of the neck and guitar body (not assembled yet)
Shooting the body (nitro)
Here is the final result
I put strings on it and tuned it up. Sounds great. Now i just need to learn how to play it!

Beautiful job. Now it’s time to make a custom fitted case for it to the same fine level of workmanship.
