Jeff's Ladder Braced Grand Concert

Jeff is getting a Ladder bradced grand concert guitar with a Red Spruce top and Mahogany hack and sides


The back is joined.


A side loaded into the bender and heating up to about 300 degrees.


The waist is bent.


And now the bouts are bent.


Gkueing in the linings


Adding the braces to the back


Shaping the back braces


Glueing on the back


The top braces are on and carved


Just before the box is closed


Glueing on the top, it's on the bottom of the stack


Cutting the purfling/binding channels


Ready for binding and purfing



Installing the trim






Now that's done and the neck will be next.




Slotting a fingerboard


The dovetaik

Attaching the fingerboard

A trial fit
