The Highline Acoustic Guitar Build

Slowly but surely, I am acquiring the wood for this project. So far, I have the East Indian Rosewood back and sides and a slab of 1/4 sawn African Mahogany for the neck. The rest I have sourced, but I haven't purchased it yet. Need to get it soon so it can acclimatize. Here's a photo of the back and sides:

Two Necks On Deck

I like the look and feel of a bound neck. It's so clean and smooth. However, next time, I'll glue on the fretboard and sand the seam flush with the neck BEFORE I install the fret wire.

This neck was made with Honduran Mahogany and a Rosewood fretboard bound with white ABS. 

Binding a Fretboard

Today, I bound a Rosewood fretboard with some white binding. After scrapping off the excess, I  sanded the bottom true so it will sit nice an flat on the neck. Before I install it, I'll add some mother-of-pearl marker dots and the fret wire.
