All the frets are in and I am levelling them out so the guitar will not buzz out all over the place, although I am sure the action will have to stay a bit high to overcome some of the wonkiness in the body.

You can see the tuning machines are installed, the saddle and bridge pins are installed, and the nut has been rough shaped. The ends of the frets need to be dressed, the nut filed and ready to be strung up for a test. Once everything is together I will be taking off the strings and hardware for some finish work, and then we are done. It has turned out to be not as huge a job as originally thought.
