Life is getting in the way of having this project done in a reasonable amount of time - working out of town a lot, and various other factors, are limiting what I can get done on the guitar. I don't want to rush it either, as this will almost certainly lead to an unusable instrument. In the interest of moving things along a little faster I am considering using an existing guitar neck I have on hand. Although it isn't from an archtop, I can easily modify it to do the job. The best part is that it has its own truss rod that I can reuse, and the channel is already there. All I need to do really is add the extension for the overhang at the bottom end, and put my own fingerboard on.
The neck I have started will be made good use of for another project. If this guitar works out I plan to make another like it.
