both zouks and the pew build have had a few coats, then allowed to dry over the weekend, been wet & dry sanded and then sprayed some more.....





and the bridges are progressing.......

first zouk has 3 coats on now.....

another couple tomorrow, then leave it over the weekend to harden, then sand it down Monday and then start spraying the finish coats.....





2nd zouk has the neck on & heel cap glued in place.....



and I fired up the CNC router today to have a go at making bridges for them both.....

this is rough... still needs a LOT of work, but at least it's symmetrical!!.......

Church pew guitar....neck glued on, heel cap glued in....



and first coat of varnish to spot any glue splodges that still need sanded out...



close up of the rosette



one of the zouks, neck on, heel cap on



First coat of "spot the glue" varnish.....

some work on the zouks.

one neck rough carved, marker dots on headstock shaped & tuner holes drilled.....



I have the neck cut out on the other one, but not much more than that.

the pew guitar has the frets in.....



I'd REALLY like to get all three of these done before Easter, but that's only 3 weeks.......

finished the pickup in mando #42. It'll be in the post tomorrow, all being well.

some more neck work on the Pew guitar.

fret marker dots on & cut the profile then started sanding.

the headstock needs a fair bit of work too..... and the neck joint is barely started.

nowhere near done yet, but on the road at least......
