Post subject:  scratch built acoustic finished

I finally finished the acoustic guitar I've been working on for a few months. I started with a LMI unserviced kit so it took me longer to plane and thickness the boards then bend the side, and carve the neck and bridge out from blocks of wood. I put on 2 coats of lacquer then tried to fill the grain with epoxy. I hate sanding epoxy it's almost like sanding rubber eraser. I will let the epoxy cure a little more maybe it will sand easier. neck is sapele and body is bubinga, and top is engelmann spruce. Fretboard and bridge is of course ebony.
