Now I got the Tryggvecaster temporary functioning for a few days, it's time to collect the mistakes / ugly bits / things I most clearly have to fix.

I don't know what came over me during the creation, and fixing of the neckpocket... but my solution is sort of out of whack entirely. I have to insert a strip of wood there to make it look reasonable.



Looks like the neck is attached just ever so slightly entirely wrong... it should be tilted backwards instead of like this. A shim would correct that, maybe I should adjust the neckpocket... I don't know yet. The saddles are on their lowest, so the strings could take it I guess.



There is some weird bend in the neck that I hope to be able to get out by adjusting the trussrod.



The handrouter had a life of its own; and I didn't use a template. Or a guide. therefore, here is a dent... about one mm deep, next to the bout. Ouch!
