After nearly twelve months of preparation and trawling this forum I finally have something which resembles a guitar

Thanks for all your help so far

It's a great feeling, isn't it! I built my first, back in the early eighties, but I remember it well.
I still get a little rush when I pull the glued up box out of the go-bar deck. Tap & thump it, sing into the soundhole... Feel it come to life in my hands.
Just wait 'till you string it up for the first time!
Congrats!

It's a great feeling when the top and back go on, not quite a guitar yet but a great bongo drum. Way to go and good luck on the rest of the build.

Getting the box together is one of my most favorite parts of this obsession.
