Not long 'til Christmas...

...and the guitar I'm making is nearly finished.  Here are some more shots of its progress:

In the photo above, the bent sides are being held in place by a jig I designed whilst I peg on the kerfing.

Below is the roughed-out neck, fret board and truss rod.

Above: the back and top showing the bracing patterns.

Below: glueing down the top using the jig and elastic.

Above: ready to add the back.

Below: I add my signature to the inside of the guitar.
