Finally got around to making a couple of recordings of my #1 which was completed in January. Need to work on the setup but overall I'm very happy with this little fella'. I owe a lot to this forum for helping me through this build so: Many, many thanks... Mark |

Mark, Great sounding guitar! As much of it seems to be due to your playing as to the guitar itself. Are you trained as a classical guitarist? Beautiful! Congrats', Max |

Thanks for all of the nice comments. J Hewitt wrote: Did you post pics of your finished guitar? No but thanks for the reminder, I'll post some now, blemishes and all. MaxBishop wrote: Are you trained as a classical guitarist? Yeah, I'm a little rusty but that is what I studied in college. Still not sure how I thought I was going to make a living doing that (I'm a consultant for large datacenters now)  - Back/Sides: Cherry from Jesse Burge in Ms - Binding: Holly from Burge - Top: "Red Bear Bridge Stringer" (DaCosta "Kermodie" Spruce). Apparently this used to be part of a bridge's support structure and was reclaimed. - Neck: Honduras Mahogany - Pyramid bridge & fretboard: I. Rosewood - Finish: Shellac via French Polish - 24.9"  Unique "Windham" saddle shape        Eek, this shot really brings out some....interesting...features     Next up: J45, without Dovetail or French Polish so that I can finish in less than a year  Mark |

Hi Mark, Thanks for posting the pictures....That is really nice for your first! I have built three ditsons myself. Just got done this weekend doing some brace carving and revoicing on my first one that I built a little over a year ago...It was over braced when built...I was totally amazed at the outcome in tone and sound. Fun project and seemed to learn a little from the experience! Congrats on a nice #1 and again your playing! Jeff |

Hey Mark, Great looking and sounding little guitar. Cherry/Lutz really is an amazing combination on these litle guitars! Glad to hear you finally finished her up! Sounds like you gotta get going on that J-45 build -- Mine is going pretty slowly as well. Thanks John |

Thanks John. Yeah, I'm so far behind on the J-45 build schedule that mine is going to be more of a buld-alone. I'll check in on LF to see your progress. Have a good one, Mark |
