Tenor guitar

This neck for the tenor guitar was made from sapele (Africa), and an overlay of blackwood was used on the head. I seemed to take less photos at this stage, so I can’t show too much of the neck construction. The neck was joined to the body with a ‘biscuit’. The joint was cut using a biscuit jointer, and it is a tricky exercise holding the machine at right angles across the narrow sides. I use these biscuits for ukelele neck / body joins, so I thought I’d try them on the tenor guitar.
