Dovetail Joint on a Russell Slack Key Guitar
The dovetail neck joint on the Russell custom “Waimea “slack key guitar has been cut on both body and neck. The back and sides on this guitar are flamed curly Koa, the neck is Honduran Mahogany, and the soundboard is German Spruce. The three photos below show James doing the fine fitting of the dovetail joint using strips of sandpaper.
