This is my second guitar, went pretty good. sounds great with a 25 inch scale.I noticed that I don't have a shot of the headplate. I'll upload that monday.
This is the one I posted a complaint a couple of months ago about the sound hole too small. I cut in a sound port. I think the sound port helps make this a loud guitar.
A carpathian top from Old World Tonewood, E I rosewood back & sides, Madagascar rosewood fingerboard & bridge. Rosette and binding is zebrawood.
I made this for myself but I think it will be out the door tomorrow with my daughter Anne, She's to get the third guitar, this is the prototype for hers but I don't know if I'll get it back.

Thanks for looking and thanks to all, for the help. I think I have two more to make and it seems to be a great hobby for me.

Looks very nice Bill--well done!
I hate to sound the ingrate, but could you give not only a shot of the head, but of the back as well? And don't forget the closeup of your rosette.

Congrats!

Steve

Yah I know, I had to get to work. Didn't even think to turn it around.
I'll have to get out the instructions on how to use the camera better. Pull up the page on Photography 101. laughing6-hehe . Get the Puggle to stay out of the way. (other daughters dog) Ya know when you're makin shavins when you pet Lilly,there's a puff of wood dust.
Ya ... the other daughter,Sarah, said she going to learn to play the guitar on her off time. Guess that means one more.
That makes me happy, someone wants my guitars. Something to pass on.
