Post subject:  First Guitar Strung Up With Pictures
As I mentioned in another post, I finished my first and strung it up. Lot of things I'm pretty happy with and some things need more work. It sounds great. I did some recording with it on the weekend. Recorded a track with mine a my buddy's Beneteau, and mine, while not at Marc's level still held it's own. It sounded good. The boddy is a little wonky (I'm using a mold on my nest) and I had some trouble with the binding and the finish, but all in all I'm pretty happy.

Specs: Mayan Walnut/Alaskan Yellow Cedar. Macassar Ebony Fretboard and bridge. Imboya binding and rostte and headstock. Finished the body with KTM-8 and the neck with varnish.

Thanks again to those who offered help and suggestions.

Neil
