but I've spent a few hours with it again today and I'm finding it really fun to play.

Any guitar - built or bought - that is fun to play and looks as good as yours does, is a good guitar. So congrats on your first build being a good one!

Over the next 50 builds, they'll get even better

;)

A suggestion - your username is a bit awkward to type out (correctly) in a post to be able to tag you. You'll see that most of us have used very short usernames to make tagging each other easier. You should be able to change it easily.

I appreciate your work in creating this masterpiece. Your fingers must dance on the fretboard, creating melodies that touch the soul. The way you would wield the six strings is pure magic! Your strumming ignites a fire within, bringing music to life.

@brie thanks Brian. I've found the whole process so much fun albeit with a step learning curve!

It's not perfect, but what I learnt from making the mistakes and how to rectify them is invaluable.

Do it, man, it will be great!

@dhawkes1gmail-com Nice guitar! 👍 It is a special feeling when a new guitar is finished, adjusted and plays well.
