# Electric 6-String Build DAG

Standard workflow for a Bolt-On Neck Electric Guitar (Strat/Tele style).

## Phase 1: Preparation
1.  **Select_Wood** -> Start
2.  **Acclimate_Wood** -> Select_Wood (Wait 2 weeks)
3.  **Joint_Body_Blank** -> Acclimate_Wood
4.  **Thickness_Planer** -> Joint_Body_Blank

## Phase 2: Neck Construction (Parallel A)
10. **Neck_Truss_Channel** -> Thickness_Planer
11. **Drill_Tuner_Holes** -> Thickness_Planer
12. **Glue_Fretboard** -> Neck_Truss_Channel (Requires: Truss Rod installed)
13. **Radius_Fretboard** -> Glue_Fretboard
14. **Install_Frets** -> Radius_Fretboard
15. **Carve_Neck_Profile** -> Glue_Fretboard

## Phase 3: Body Construction (Parallel B)
20. **Template_Route_Shape** -> Thickness_Planer
21. **Route_Neck_Pocket** -> Template_Route_Shape (Critical: Fit to Neck)
22. **Route_Pickup_Cavities** -> Template_Route_Shape
23. **Drill_Bridge_Holes** -> Template_Route_Shape (Critical: Scale Length)
24. **Roundover_Edges** -> Route_Neck_Pocket

## Phase 4: Assembly & Finish
30. **Fit_Check** -> Carve_Neck_Profile AND Roundover_Edges (Dry fit)
31. **Final_Sanding** -> Fit_Check
32. **Apply_Finish** -> Final_Sanding
33. **Cure_Finish** -> Apply_Finish
34. **Install_Hardware** -> Cure_Finish
35. **Wiring** -> Install_Hardware
36. **Setup** -> Wiring (Nut, Saddle, Relief)

## Critical Constraints
- **Neck Pocket:** Must be routed AFTER you have the neck in hand to measure, or using a precise template.
- **Bridge Drilling:** Must be measured from the Neck Pocket + Scale Length logic.
- **Finishing:** Cannot install hardware before finish is cured (unless relic).
