Then it's my turn....
......a demonstration on repairing a fingerboard/neck separation


I open the wound....

Apply some Tightbond wood glue...

Then I make sure the glue gets down
into the separated area using an index card

I place the clamping blocks on both sides of the neck...

Notice the top block is notched for the frets.

The excess glue that is squeezed out

With all of the informative clinics taking place, Graham felt a little left out.
So he decided to teach us all the correct way to drink beer!

I took a few pics. Here were a few of my favorites:

Jason's double neck...

I liked the Byrds 12 string...

Both these were cool. I especially like Jason's '56 Combo 400. What a great guitar to play...

Thanks ever so much for all the pictures. Rub it in what we missed! :lol:

Joey, so you suspend the bass like that and then tighten the truss nuts?

Steve, how do you keep the glue out of the truss rod channel?

That trans-green Cii is really beautiful. :shock:
