Very nice Mike, is it based on a classical shape? But I can't see the resonator

It actually is a shape I came up with for resonator guitars. Basically a OO that a tricone assembly will fit. Dunno what the heck happened to the cone. Thanks for the kind comments. This is my second try at these new-fangled guitars that use neither cone nor pick-up to make noise. They're kinda fun! |

Great looking instrument! My knee-jerk reflex before reading anyone else's response was "That looks like a Gurian!" From two people here, that is not an insult. Way to go! Dave |

I know who Gurian is but don't think I've ever seen one. Guess I'll have to do a search and see how much I ripped him off. The other acoustic I made was far different in terms of details, sunburst top, slotted headstock and lots of inlay, so it's not a 'style' so much as just what I felt like doing at the time. |

And she's only been playing a few months! I made her the guitar because she outgrew the little Fender 'campfire' guitar we had laying around the house and was starting to play my stuff.   I really am proud or her, unlike her old man she's a natural. |

WOW, great looking guitar, and for such a talented owner. You can be rightly proud of both. I'm sure she'll hold that guitar in a special place in her heart for all her life...as well as her fabulous Dad!! |
