Acoustic Guitar

This is my blog on building an acoustic guitar that my wife got me as a kit. Some of the parts came preassembled, which is cool because I have a small child and no free time. ;-)

Fretboard

This weekend I glued in the Abalone dots and 12th fret marker.

I sanded the fretboard starting with 80 grit on a 20" radius sanding block, then progressing through 120, 150, 220, 400, 500, 800, 1200, 1500.

Before I cleaned the dust off:


I also did the side markers.



Next I started hammering in the frets. I just did 2 to try it out. As you can tell from the photo, I started from the outsides and worked my way to the middle. I am going to have to trim these and round them off, as well as recrown.
