Roy's Guitar, Chapter 13

The supplies came in and we pinned down the headstock design. So it was time to route the truss rod cavity. This was done with the table mounted router (picture). The truss rod allow one to adjust the tension in the neck. It does not matter what you do to wood it will always seek to move. As if the swaying branches it once had are intrenched in its memory. The next step after this is to route the cavities and install the graphite rods. At this point I also cut the fret slots in the Rosewood. This was done with table saw and template system (picture).
