Here is Mousa 003's body glue-up from last month. I glue up the back first, remove it from the mold and then glue up the top. Currently I'm finishing up the body binding and the neck fit is coming up soon. Check out the body glue-up video from the vlog down below.
2014 Martin Custom X Series D :: high pressure laminate explosion
This X series Martin Dreadnought has high pressure laminate (HPL, Formica, etc) back and sides. The guitar slipped off of a strap and fell onto a hardwood floor. The back broke loose from the treble side (neck-to-tail block) through the linings. The first back brace was also split on the bass side. Here everything is being glued back together with a combination of spool clamps, cam clamps, scissor jack and brace jack. Luckily this was not solid mahogany, else the damage would have been much worse.
