This picture above represents where I was at so far. I like to engrave my signature on my guitars, and I wasn't sure where to put it on this one. I decided to remove that "MONTECRISTO" and put my name there. I don't know how it will turn out, but we'll see.

In order to finish the neck I wanted to glue the fretboard to the neck, but I realized that I didn't leave myself much room for mistakes. I decided to put in the two outer strings (leftovers from other builds) to be able to see how things line up.

There was some excitement in my neighborhood. Apparently an older woman got trapped in her apartment. My girlfriend and I were walking home when we saw them, we were a little paranoid that maybe we had done something.

Here I've finally glued the fretboard.

In this picture you can see how I plan to put my signature. There's a rectangle cut out of the box top and on the neck-through part of the neck I'll carve in my "Schafer". My theory is that the mahagony wood will be darker after I varnish it and I'm hoping for a nice contrast.
