Guitar Build Update 6-17-11

I am thoroughly convinced that the reason for taking up this work is to keep me humble.

I believe that I have made every mistake that one can make during the building of this instrument. Despite my shortcomings and inabilities the project is moving forward albeit not quite the instrument that I had dreamed it would be.

 I have managed to put the body together, hopefully learning from my mistakes along the way.

My hope is that no matter how disfigured it may be that it plays beautifully when finished.

I will continue on, bindings and neck work next.


In the mean time I have already started thinking about the next instrument. I have brought in a 000 model for making some templates, and have selected some woods to use for it. The back and sides will be Bubinga with a Cedar top. I guess I am hooked...
