<p>This Maltese cross shaped guitar (a nod to Ian Hunter's of Mott the Hoople) was a birthday present for my dad. I inlayed a half crown from his birth year into the headstock (inspired by Mark's Penny) and tried to keep the Maltese cross theme into the headstock shape.</p>
<p>The body is mahogany, mahogany neck and purple heart fretboard (which I cut the fret slots by hand with a scalpel then saw, but will buy a fret slot mitre jig from you for my next).</p>
<p>This is technically my second build as I made one entirely from left over kitchen worktop oak for my daughter before it which I can post if anyone would like.</p>
<p>I made many, many mistakes building this guitar, but seem to have overcome most and learnt so much in the process (and nearly lost the end of a finger &#x1f648;).</p>
<p>A massive thank you to Mark and Carol for the invaluable insights into how a anyone can build a guitar. Thank you for giving me the confidence to have a go. Your site is a great resource, with videos always given in a passionate way which I really appreciate. Never condescending and always encouraging and your passion for guitar building shines through! Thank you all!</p>]]></content:encoded>
