Since everyone is doing such a great job sharing their 2009 guitar building goals I thought that it would be fun to have a thread that is a gallery of guitars produced by OLFers in 2008. This is the one guitar that I completed in 2008........ but I moved, had to build a new shop, and am lazy so I have excuses.....  Would everyone who finished a guitar in 2008 please post one photo of each guitar that you built in 2008? Here's mine: Attachment: DSC01237.jpg

Great thread Hesh, I'm looking forward to seeing these. I'm almost finished with my first. I'm french polishing it now. Still have to glue on the bridge and whittle out a nut. Other than that it's done. I've also started a mahogany OM that I'm using Michael P's plans on. This guitar is I guess what you call from scratch. First guitar was the kit and most things were already done. Like the top and back glued up, neck already carved, rosette channels already gouged out, back strip done glued in, sides pre-bent. It's really exciting when you finally get to do all of this yourself. I've learned alot from you good people here on the OLF, more than you could buy in books. I just want to say it's been a good year of learning from everyone. Got to make new friends and meet good OLF'ers like John Mayes and Al Peebles. Hope next year blesses everyone and we can come here a year from now and see all the fine instruments we have created. Hopefully I'll have my geetar done before the end of the year to post a few pics. |

Here's the only one I finished in 2008 - back in January. Reyes-style flamenco. Sorry for the rotation. It doesn't do that when I display it on my own computer, so I'm not sure what to fix. Attachment: P1010091h.jpg

My apologies folks I should have explicitly included electrics or any instrument of any kind that any OLFer completed in 2008 in my request. Thanks!

My turn...  I managed to finish 4 chambered electric guitars this year... and 3 of those have been sold! The first has a body made of cut-off parts from previous builds: Attachment: DSC_0155 [Desktop Resolution].JPG Then there is a prototype for a new model: Attachment: DSC_0251-800.jpg Another first where I used an humbucker and a TonePros stop tailpiece in one of my convertible model: Attachment: DSC_0224 [Desktop Resolution].JPG Finally, my first solid-body (well, there has been a lot of "firsts" in 2008...): Attachment: Lupien_Marc_3_2 [800x600].jpg There will be a lot more in 2009 since 8 guitars are going to be ready for finishing before Christmas!!! YEAH ! Marc |

Here is my new giggin' guitar. It shouldn't be because the top is soft cedar and the finish is FP, but it just sounds and plays great. Cedar top, EIR back and sides. Aspen purfling. Douglas Fir Bracing.  Dave Livermore Lindstrom, MN |

Here is my 2008 collection. 2 are missing since I didn't have any pictures of them. Two are in finishing stage (an Macassar rosewood OM and a Sycamore Flamenco). And according to schedual, I should make a last one before the end of the year. I also added an extra something me and my girldfirend made (mostly my girlfriend!) |

Oops! Just reread the original post where it says to post only one picture of each guitar. I posted 2 of each. Should I delete the extra ones I posted? |
