Ok here it is. Cherry red sunburst on bearclaw & flamed maple. Its not the best looking sunburst but it looks better in real life. Sounds real good though.

Here's some more picts. It was a pre slotted & radiused fretboard and the sides were prebent. I wished I'd seen Robbie's sunburst video before i did this.

Great looking guitar jncllc. It's a learning curve we all have to go through, next one will be better and so on. Keep up the good work.

Great work John! It's awesome that you even tried a sunburst on your first (I'm not that adventurous <smile>)

How do you like the sound? What was the most difficult and easiest parts of the build? Bet it feels great to pick up a guitar you've built and play it!!!

Darryl, the hardest thing was the sunburst. It looks ok but didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. It sounds great. The easiest thing to do was opening the box with all the parts in it.

[clap] Great Job. I hope my first looks that good when I am done. If you are able you should post a video or a sound clip. It would be great to hear that baby in action.

Any plans for the next?

How do I do a sound clip? And thanks Dave. I was working hard all summer and didn't work on it much or visit the web much so I didn't see your sale or I might of bought something.It sounds pretty good to me but I need to compare it some other guitars. All I have is a fender 12 string so thats not a good comp although its just as loud.

It all comes down to what recording equipment you have, most digit cameras can even do video these days.
