 This is a 12 fret acoustic guitar made for my son's high school graduation. I needed to get it done quickly and thought about saving time. I did not want to compromise on quality. Then I remembered Andy Birko a sponsor here makes some nice necks. So I bought one. And a nice bridge. I built this in a week. I left my Luthier ego tucked in and based in the look on Sean's face it is Okay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Wow. Very impressive. How did you do the finishing so quick? |

Nice to see a slot head and pyramid bridge even on a quickey! |

Looks great. Just curious, when you say quick... How quick? I can build a guitar in a week but it takes 3 months to finish it

I didn't pore fill the body. Brazilian with pores. So sink back is not noticeable. I wouldn't recommend it. Start earlier and plan better than I. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That is so cool! I love the body shape. And the 12 fret neck gives you extra points as well. I'm sure he'll treasure it for a long time. |

Nice to see a little different bracing too. Not just another Martin... |

Thanks guys. I do my own thing when I can get away with it. I once made a braceless guitar. It sounded good but the string height changed with seasons like a double bass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Very cool - it looks like a small Gibson Roy Smeck. |
