Assembly



The guitar boxes get their binding, rosettes and other 'bling' in various stages on several benches - and then the necks and bodies are joined.  Despite there being quite a bit of CNC cutting, the final alignment is done by hand - a little bit of sanding, a few slices with the plane and a lot of expert judgement.


Routing for the binding - I think as we could not get into all parts




Preparing the binding - plastic in this case

Good to see there are young luthiers in training


Joining these bits is harder than you think - and this guy is an expert

Attaching the bridges and preparing the neck


Some guitars send back for remedial work


Making it all look just so
