One of the most nerve wracking parts of this build appears to be a total success! I glued the neck into place a few days ago and though the glue bottle label said to clamp it for 30 minutes, a friend suggested a minimum of 48 hours.... SO, 3 days later I took the clamps off. It appears to have set beautifully. We will only know though in about a month when I can finish assembling it and put strings on and PRAY it holds. I do have a few touch up places to hit on the side in the upper cut-away. you can see in the photo where there is a spot that didn't take the dye. Gonna have to sand it a bit and add some more dye. This build is going great so far. Next big task is to build a temporary paint booth and spray several coats of Nitro Lacquer then let her sit.
