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

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...

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 slac...

That's 4 coats of top coat on it now, I think that's enough, I putt a bit of beeswax on my test piece and its polished up nicely. Anyway, thats the br...

@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 ...

@brie An acoustic would be a lot lighter 😉

@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...

@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 att...

The frets are installed now and all sanded and masked ready for finishing. First coat of sanding sealer on and decals put on the headstock.

@brie Well done Brian, thats looking good, and yes it is addictive. Be careful with that acoustic course, I started off just drawing one, I never dr...

I cleaned up, planed, scraped and sanded the soundboard binding, and I have to say that I'm delighted with the results. To be on the safe side, I had ...

The soundboard board is routed now and maple binding glued in. Definitely out of my comfort zone doing that. We'll see what tomorrow brings when I tak...

Although I happy with the good close glue join that I've got between the sides and soundboard/back, it just doesn't look finished without binding. Hav...

Fretboard levelled and dots added now. I went to get my dots out of my bag of bits for this build, and realised that I hadn't bought any. So I cut som...

@liebe Thanks Dan I didn't buy the kit from the shop, but it would've been an awful lot easier if I did. I already had a lump of mahogany that most ...

Try emailing carol@baileyguitars.co.uk and I'm sure that she'll get back to you.

Thats the neck/body joint done, fretboard glued, the neck carved and dry fitted. Doesn't sound much when you say it quickly, but its certainly a chal...
