Here it is, my daughter's 16th bday guitar. Thanks to all of you who helped with advice and tips. I'm really appreciative of this forum. This is my 3rd guitar.

0 size 12 fret deep body
Sinker redwood top
Claro Walnut b/s
Bloodwood headplate, endwedge, heel cap, string pins
Koa binding
Ebony bridge, saddle

I don't have a good camera, but here are a few pics. It sounds great. Super responsive, especially to a light touch, with excellent bass for such a small guitar. I'm getting better. :)

Very nice! Coincidentally, my daughter and I built a 12-fret 0-28 style guitar for her, in koa.

I'm an electric guy, so I hope you don't mind me sneaking over here to say I really admire you guitar.
I thought of trying to build a 000 kit, but after reading a lot of the posts, an acoustic is way beyond my talent. Again. the guitar is beautiful!

When I was 16 years old the only walnut that I had ever seen was cracked and munched upon at Christmas! Your daughter should be very proud to have a father who could create such a gift, and you should be very proud of what you have done.
