We are finally machining the body for this guitar! In this video we cut the fixture that let's us achieve 2 sided machining, machine the back side of the body, machine the channels and cavities on the front side, bookmatch the walnut top, then gluing on the top and finish the front side.

Big shoutout to Matt Fransen of Fransen Guitars who bookmatched the walnut top for me. Thank you so much Matt!
