New soprano

It is said to be the best firewood in the world. This is swedish ash, I cut the tree down myself some 20 years ago.

This has been one of my fastest builds yet, but the neck was shaped about a year ago. It's the first with a domed soundboard, and I am pleased to say that it is a very clean build. Neck joint is perfect. Bookmatch and line up too.

I have about 72 hours to finish it, and by that I mean put a finish on. I'll decide upon method tomorrow, Danish oil is an option.

Soundhole shape is a secret so far.

My father had made a few electric guitars. I hear putting in the pick-ups are always fun :)
