The location of the bridge has been stripped of all finish.
The bridge will be glued on using a clamp.
Fretting
The fingerboard has been flattened and radiused, and the position
markers have been applied. The frets are simply driven into
the fingerboard with a hammer.
Final
assembly
The slots in the nut (fossilized ivory) are cut to match the
diameters of the strings. The guitar is now ready to be strung.
