Hey Guys , finally finished #1. My first attempt at photos. Hope they all show well.
Anyway, all wood except the Sitka top & ebony fretboard were "mined" from my shop. Back & sides are Curly Maple with Curly Walnut bindings & bridge. Nitro finish & Grover tuners.

Thanks for looking.
Don

Nice one Clutch, finish looks excellent. What are the rest of the woods? Looks a bit like Maple B + S.
Congrats, more power to your elbows!

Thanks for the feedback. John, I am getting ready to start spraying the nitro
on build #2. It's a knock-off of a Taylor GA. Curly Walnut with ebony bindings.

So far it's looking very sharp. Pics in a few weeks

Thanks again, Don

Congrats Don - very nicely done. I am usually not a fan of 3 piece backs but I like the one you did here - nicely done!

Nice guitar, Don!
Fess up, man. How many did you burn to get this good? (guitars, that is)
I have the same combination of woods set back for "someday", because I wasn`t really sure how it would be accepted.
You sure have made an excellent first guitar!

Congrats, it's not an easy thing to do..!

Very nice. I love the binding, the back, and the understated sound hole rosette.
