Finally put this one together, after waiting weeks for varnish to dry, and dealing with my vehicle problems. It's a smaller sized 12 fret slot head guitar, using a set of BRW I got from Ebay a few years ago, that wasn't big enough to make a dread or jumbo. It's kind of a hybrid (or "lowbrid") and It sounds quite nice. There's an inlay of my recently passed dog "Hopper", who was hit by a train in November. It is my first attempt at doing purfling. I think it's number 6 (or is it 7?)...

Sorry about the dog.

It's the best one yet. Great sounding too. Kind of has the feel of a classical with steel strings, with a wider neck and shorter scale. It really grows on you. :D bliss. Very sweet.

Anyone want to trade this guitar for a running pickup truck?
