It's already been said Filippo, but that looks fabulous and from Todd's comments, it sounds as she looks. Congrats!

It looks pretty good, but I must say that I think you are very audacious to use BRW and master grade spruce on your very first scratch build!

Thank you!

Thanks, guys.

I chuckle at Todd's comment, that there was never any doubt. The guitar looks and sounds great, but it wasn't without plenty of issues along the way. I'd like to share some of those ... especially for folks starting out or just with a few guitars under their belts.

- Taking material ...(abbreviated for space)... Well not sure how that all plays out but it was a long road for sure with too many lessons learned. I suppose the best lesson for me was to take the mistakes in stride and not beat myself up too much ...

Filippo


Wow.

Excellent recovery. But still audacious!

Filippo,

Thanks very much for sharing all the challenges. When I first looked at your guitar it was another groaner that I see occasionally posted. By that I mean it made me groan and say: "how can people make such a nice guitar first time out and why I am I so apparently inept?"

Beautifully done and nice to know it has some human qualities and memories.

Pat

Congrats, Filippo. The guitar sounds great. Bet it's going to be a real killer after some more playing in. I am inching closer to doing my first classical, due in part to seeing/hearing your fine work. Thanks for sharing the trials as well as the triumphs.

Best wishes,
Max
