Main Events: BBS Guitar - remove neck. Project J45 - layout bracing on the top
J45 Project Guitar
We brought the top down to near final thickness. Then marked the bracing positions and marked the cut line using a washer to keep a constant distance from the form.
Remove the neck from the Bookbag Santa Guitar (BBS).
After checking the relief and action, we determined that the neck needed to be reset. We removed the bolts holding on the neck and discovered that we had glued the fretboard extension. We didn't remember doing that. So, we used an iron to heat the fretboard extension to soften the glue and slowly woked a spatula between the fretboard and the top. Tom and Howard did a creat job of not maring the finish at all!
Reset the Bookbag Santa Guitar (BBS) neck.
Kenny, David, Tom and Larry met at Larry's shop to finish the neck reset. After the reset the guitar plays well and was returned to BBS.
