Nice looking guitars Adam! I can't amagine building 13 guitars at the same time. wow7-eyes I'm doing 5 right now and it's driving me nuts [uncle] In the future i plan on compleating only 2 or 3 at the same time as i find it too hard to keep track of everything when doing more. Thanks for posting the pictures. You don't see many dreads with cutaways too often and yours looks great. [:Y:]

That bubinga so sweet...... :mrgreen:
What did you use for a finish on these? And are they buffed?



Yea its Nitrocellulose(sp?) Lacquer. Totally is buffed like a mirror. You could count your pores in that finish.

Yea to be honest at a certain point we put a few away and have focused on 6 but now that they are all getting lacquered the other 5 are coming back out. The other 2 obviously are done. Thanks for the praise dude!

Nice clean work, Adam. That's quite a start. You must have some prior woodworking experience. Did you get the shape of your headstock from Bruce Petros? I've always liked his headstock, which is a little reminiscent of Wayne Henderson's.


I had the same thought. I'm amazed that these are your first 2. They are both gorgeous. You have a bright future in lutherie! Good luck and look forward to seeing the other six!
