Hi Dubbie - great find with the little amplifier.

As Rod says:definitely need some epoxy in those big gaps!!

I can't resist saying that I love the way you have just pushed all your electronics tools to one side, in order to give you space for the woodwork. So nice to see someone who is as untidy a worker as me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Dubbie,

A great guitar design.

It might be worthwhile running some epoxy resin into the larger gaps as the PVA wood glue doesn't perform too well at bridging gaps and wood filler isn't any good for strength either. Once the epoxy has set you could then add a final layer of wood filler to get the top flat.

The guitar is coming along nicely. There are Luthier groups around that you could learn from if you decide that this is a good hobby for you.

Good luck on your continued progress on this project.
