Glued and screwed the neck yesterday. I routed out a channel for the single-coil pickup, but after attaching the neck it seems the pickup will sit too high. This will be a 3-string slide but I don't want super high action on it.

Put it aside while I pondered the problem. Plus I had band practice... Woke up today with a solution. Going to cut the neck completely away from under the pickup then add a brace across the neck for strength. 

Also the really cool red hinge I bought for a tailpiece isn't going to work. There's something else I'm attaching to the bottom of the guitar rending it unusable. Back to the junk drawer...

Now that I have the pickup problem solved I should be done soon, as long as my tuners get here before the weekend. 

I need to attach a couple of pieces of wood to the sides of the guitar to give it a sort of double cutaway look. I won't say why yet, but when you see the finished product, you'll understand.
