Thank you for sharing your building process and posting these great photos. I always learn something new about guitars when I see the details of how they're made, and it helps me appreciate my own (luthier-built) guitar even more. I do not build guitars, but I have done some woodworking (cabinets, furniture, etc.), and it surprises me that you don't let the glue dry for very long before you do further work on a piece. For example, with the neck you cut and glue the scarf joint, then within hours you glue on the head veneer, then within hours you route out the head slots. And you glue on the heel block then within hours you're shaping the heel. It seems like you're clamping the pieces for the minimum recommended time then immediately working the pieces, where personally I would let the joints dry for at least 24 hours before working them. Am I just overly cautious?
