Gluing in the neck and tail blocksthe sides are placed in the forms to dry another 24 hours or so. Although the sides usually fit the form very well, I like to use these oversized spring clamps to make sure the fit is perfect. The mahogany neck and tail blocks are glued in with an assortment of F-clamps, spring clamps, and waxed paper (to keep the form from becoming a permanent part of your guitar). Cutaway neck blocks are especially fun because I epoxy them. Epoxy tends to drip and it really wants to bond the guitar to the form. |
