This weekend I made a lot of progress again. I cleaned up the glued in truss rod and started laying out the nut and fingerboard position. I made a hard rock maple nut, at least for lining things up, but I think I will go for a graphite one in the end.

Then I made the rough cut for the neck with my jigsaw, followed by routing the edges flush with the template I made earlier. Finally, I made the transition from the neck to the headstock. It needs some sanding, but I want to do that when shaping the neck. So for now, it’s ready; and I can go on with the fingerboard!
