Looks like you've got a partner to play a "four hands" guitar! Nicely done!

Very nicely put together. A bit fancy, but very tasteful with the bound fingerboard and headstock. It is an interesting shape too - is that your own design? The finish looks great too, which is the part of my own guitar building that most needs improvement. A great guiter - I hope you both enjoy it for many years to come.

Thanks for the kind words..
Mark...totally agree that its a bit on the fancy side
The bound headstock and F/B were firsts for me
just wanted to see if I could pull it off
The shape is actually from an old Guild M20
And the finish Epifanes sprayed ....
nice result and easy to buff out but im still not sure its as durable as I would like
time (and my little boy) will tell

Nice Guitar! I really like the shape and your peghead design. A tricky bit of work binding it, though!!!
The finish looks awesome.
Nicely Done!

Yeah baby!
Looks great!
I don't think it's too fancy,
because you don't have much shell on it.
Sorry about your back.
I had a surfing accident where I hit a jetty boulder after falling off my board.
Broken rib, I think.
Couldn't really "go for it" after that.

I like it. And I like fancy when it's a combination of woods and a well chosen combo at that. Fancy shell, not my thing.

So how do you get out of the water with a broken back O.o

Ouch!
