The first (3rd attempt) is done! The dang thing is a mess with cosmetic errors all over the place, but I don't care I'm just happy to have completed the build ![]() What a feeling and a sense of accomplishment. Thank you all for the help and advice, I never could have done this without you guys. On to #2 Here's a pic of the new beater (player for me) ![]() |

It's a 'journey'....if it sounds good, plays well and you learned a few things, congratulations!! Most 'cosmetic errors' are known only to the builder. Looks good from here. Carry on!!!! |

That is a very nice looking guitar for your first ![]() Wasn't it exciting when you first strung it up and played that first chord? I have done a number of rebuilds and major repairs but nothing compared to when I strung up my first build. All in all it looks like you did a pretty nice job on it and the style is pretty consistent. Nice job. Cheers, Bob |

Dalbergia Cultrata B&S, curly redwood top, mahogany neck. I'm going to try to do this one much faster. It took me 5 years to finish #1 but I started this attempt earlier this year after dropping my quilted maple/redwood build on the floor while wet sanding the finish. Hoping to finish this one by November ![]() Working should be a lot easier when baseball season is over and I'm not tempted to sit on the couch drinking beer watching the game. I got so much more done when I didn't have cable! |

Way to go on your first! Nice! People see my guitars and ask how many I've sold, LOL! ![]() They can't see the screw-ups, imperfections and problems. ![]() I just grin and say I'm still practicing. |
