Weissenborn update #10





I know, I know, I skipped #8 update (that will remain a mystery!) Anyway, the top is finally on, back and top are trimmed. I've decided this one will remain unbound, Keep it simple. I couldn' t resist gluing the maple veneer into the fret slots before I profile the fingerboard. I think it looks pretty clean, eh.

Weissenborn update #9



Well, getting closer! The top has been glued to the ribs, tonite the back goes on and presto, the beast is almost complete. I'm still pondering the binding scheme ie. binding or not? Style 1 Weiss's have no binding. I kind of like the minimalist look. What do you guys think?
