Looking forward to the best outcome mate!

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to post my second guitar. Finished it up and gave it to a friend. Could not have done it without Mark's courses and the advice from the community. On to #3... (Hopefully I'l...

That's the top carved, by hand of course. Recessed the controls too. Next up I think it'll be the binding then a lot of sanding. Attachment : 20230701_192431-01.jpeg

Looks even better now! Proper posh I used superglue, got coverded but it's on there now lol Attachment : 20230702_161645-01.jpeg

So close to getting the wood colour lined up, it'll do though Attachment : 20230704_152101.jpg

@clinton Very clever way to make a neck pocket jig!

So after 7 months, I finally found the time to finish this guitar...I removed all the hardware, sanded with 220 and 320, then applied Crimson High Build Finishing oil, using paper towels, followed by ...

Going to just start a thread here to post pictures and comments around my first build. Here we go! Attachment : PXL_20230525_032523740.jpg

Apologies for the brief hiatus as I try to finish the album of tunes I performed for Acoustic Bliss last year. I’ve given myself until the end of the month. But meanwhile, here’s an interesting snippe...

This wouldn't be important if I was making a double cutaway or no cutaway - it’s only significant if the guitar is not symmetrical across the centreline. But if I’m making a concave mould, then the m...
