Really beautiful instrument Phillipo! The Brazilian is super and the workmanship looks to be excellent. I've followed your construction over the months and congratulate you on a successful completion and great first classical guitar.

Keep in mind that with the 18 hole bridge you don't necessarily have to loop the strings around the top surface of the tie-block. They can be installed without ever passing over the surface.

I'm anxious to hear how it sounds...

Very nice work!

I agree with Peter about tying the strings to the 18-hole bridge to leave the tieblock unobstructed. Still, even tied '12-hole style', it looks great!

Fillipo, that is really nice. Great attention to detail. Very classy! If you get tired of it just send it to me and I will store it very carefully for you

It's already been said Filippo, but that looks fabulous and from Todd's comments, it sounds as she looks. Congrats!

It looks pretty good, but I must say that I think you are very audacious to use BRW and master grade spruce on your very first scratch build!

Thank you!

Thanks, guys.

I chuckle at Todd's comment, that there was never any doubt. The guitar looks and sounds great, but it wasn't without plenty of issues along the way. I'd like to share some of those ... especially for folks starting out or just with a few guitars under their belts.

- Taking material ...(abbreviated for space)... Well not sure how that all plays out but it was a long road for sure with too many lessons learned. I suppose the best lesson for me was to take the mistakes in stride and not beat myself up too much ...

Filippo

Wow.

Excellent recovery. But still audacious!

Filippo,

Thanks very much for sharing all the challenges. When I first looked at your guitar it was another groaner that I see occasionally posted. By that I mean it made me groan and say: "how can people make such a nice guitar first time out and why I am I so apparently inept?"

Beautifully done and nice to know it has some human qualities and memories.

Pat
