Shaping the guitar neck





There is a little volute under the neck at the nut which has a thumb shaped hollow.

A hand shaped heel gives some character and uniqueness to the instrument versus something machine made.

Cutting out the bridge blank with a coping saw.
Afterwards, running it through the sander to get 3/8".

The rough bridge on the working drawing.
