@robin Lovely guitar Robin, that finish gives a nice sheen and brings out the grain. Congratulations on a fine piece of work👍😃🎸

As promised here's some more photos now that its finished (apart from the strings needing trimmed) I'm absolutely delighted with it. Huge thanks to @markbailey for the inspiration and for passing on t...

@brie Thanks Brian, I'll post more photos after I've set the action and polished it up.

@robin Looks great Robin, well done!!👍😃 More photos please, I’d like to see how that finish looks, I’m a nosey beggar🤣🤣👍😃🎸

Thanks @swepri , its not perfect but with what I've learned during this build and the documentation to remind me where it went wrong, my next one will be closer to perfect.

@robin All of a sudden - a guitar! Well done, and thank you for the documentation of the whole build. I hope I can gain the courage to build an acoustic some day.

Frets levelled and crowned and strings on. Spent some time adjusting the saddle height, but still need to bring the nut down a bit now, and maybe slacken the truss rod, there's a bit of buzz playing u...

@brie I've not managed to start another yet, just had all the air source heat pump, solar and insulation done so it's been mental! Now it's making shelving and stuff to move things around and get some...

@boo Thanks Boo, it’s not perfect but that’s why there has to be the next one, isn’t it? 👍🤣 I have been back in the workshop but doing something a bit more down to earth - fixing a cou...

That fretboard looks like it will come up nicely @boo. Looking forward to seeing what you can do with it. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Cheers @robin. I really must have a go at trying to make some. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@russ Did you make the decal yourself or order them in? I made these inkjet waterslide tranfers during my first build, I made enough for six guitars, thinking that I'll never build that many. I've...

Coming along nicely @robin. Did you make the decal yourself or order them in? 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@brie Been having a look at the acoustic build course and already I can feel Mark’s can do attitude beginning to draw me in Mark's can do attitude is a great thing, and honestly, just follow the st...

@robin Looking good already Robin, fantastic job👍😃 Been having a look at the acoustic build course and already I can feel Mark’s can do attitude beginning to draw me in!!🤣...

@robin interesting! I'll look out for your thoughts. I've got the crimson water based wipe on finish to experiment with, but not tried it yet.

@liebe Thanks Dan, I feel like I'm on the home straight now. I've ordered a tin of water based top coat from Northwest guitars, never used this before so we'll see how it goes. Attachment : ecb16...

@robin looking good! What finish are you going for?

@boo You're welcome to it, I'll take it up to Castle Sween with me on my next visit and we'll arrange a meeting sometime.

@boo I've got a Stagg dreadnaught acoustic with a black painted fretboard. I really don't like it, it lives on top of the wardrobe. I might take it to a charity shop, or take the tuners off and bin it...
