book or weights evenly. Wipe away any excess glue and leave to set.

If you are using clamps, space them evenly so that as much of the side walls make contact with the body as

possible. Do not overtighten the clamps, as it may cause some damage or warping.

If you are using a book or other weight, place the back piece on a flat surface and evenly distribute the weight

for the same effect as described above.

Step

—Gluing in the Neck Brace

Now it is time to install the bracing for the neck (Part F). Spread a layer of glue on one side of the included block. Push

up against the top of the box, it should fit neatly. Clamp into place as shown in the photo below.

Step

—Shaping the Neck

Before attaching the neck to your Gittylele, it is highly recommended that you do some shaping the neck by

sanding and rounding the back edges to make the instrument more comfortable to play. Think of a conven-

tional guitar, ukulele or other stringed instrument—the back of the neck (where the palm of your hand sits)

tends to be smooth and rounded.
