Yes, I am happy . bliss
Not because of the 7-0 against North Korea, but because I have shown my guitar (my first build) to a professor of the College school of music .
He is an excellent concert player player who owns several classical guitars and he was positively impressed with the sound of my guitar.
He said "I have seen several first builds, but your guitar his several points above all of them". he strongly encourage me to continue building.
My 2nd build was progressing very slower but now this is very encouraging as you can imagine.
I have learned a lot in this forum, thanks again

Antonio!
Congratulations!
It's one thing to build a nice-looking guitar, but much more impressive when you get positive comments from an accomplished musician.

Congratulations, Antonio. Nothing better than having a good player asses your work. This should light a fire in your belly to get the second back on track.

Another great thing today was that I played a Jim Redgate guitar.
Woww, what a sound!
I am still in the beginning but here are pictures of #2.
It is going to be a smaller guitar with a cedar top:
