Well here is my latest, warts and all. One of these days I am going to have one with little or no mistakes but that may be many more away.
Pretty happy with the sound, spent quite a bit more time on set up and trying to pay attention to playability. Thanks for all the timely posts lately, made me pay attention to items I have overlooked in the past.
Each one gets a little better, courtesy of the great advice from this place.

Congratulations! Nice looking guitar. I still have not built one with no mistakes, but they are smaller than when I started, and don't show, usually.

You must have left the warts out of the photos. I'm not seeing anything not to like there! Especially like the headstock veneers front and back and the nice shape of the neck/headstock transition. So, what are you planning for number 6? Nobody stops at five.

It's not a mistake unless you can't fix it. Looks good

Nice looking guitar! Without close ups, I'm having a hard time seeing those mistakes! :lol:

I'm finishing up my "no. 13" and it seems there has been a glitch of some kind in every step of the way. (I didn't use to be superstitious).

Looks great to me. I still think of mistakes as "opportunities"

Nice. I really like that Wenge binding on the mahogany!
