Glue the body frame and align it on the back.  Flip the body frame, now the glued side in resting on the back.  Glue the top of the body frame.  We are going to set the soundboard/fretboard on the body frame.

Constructing the Body Part Two

Gently rest the soundboard/fretboard on the body frame.  Align the fretboard exactly in the center of the Peghead brace and align the fretboard exactly in the center of the back brace.

I use “squeeze” clamps to fasten the soundboard/fretboard and back to the body frame.  Re-check alignment, make any adjustments before the glue sets up.  Let set over-night.
