My #100 guitar is now complete.
This was an unusual project in that it is a classical but with a narrow 1 11/16" nut width and short 24 3/4" scale as well as an arched fret board as per my client's request.

Well Done,

Really nice work!

Any reflections looking back over 100 guitars?

Things you might have done differently? Important lessons learned?

Most impressive, David. I've been looking forward to this one from your bench.
And, I'll second what Jim asked--any reflections?
Congratulations,

Steve

I've made many short scale nylon strung guitars.
How do you like them?

Congrats Dave, nice looking guitar. I too am interested in your thoughts on how it plays.

What was the finish?

100 hear, hear! After how many did the finish start looking good? I want to make 100, but I'm dragging my feet because there's always something wrong with the finish.

Comgratulations on the milestone, it's a lovely looking instrument. I'm in agreement with others that your rosette is wonderful.

Another beauty, David. Wonderful craftsmanship. That is a narrow neck at 1 11/16!
