I look forward to the pics of your next build

I too appreciate the "subtle" asymmetry and elegant yet unobtrusive detail...

Huge props for using ancient technology to great effect!

Hi Ian ... you've just made my day ... thanks very much for the kind words!

I'll probably only post one more guitar on the forum and social media this year ... really trying to cut down on my computer time!

Hey Ryan ... thanks! I must admit, I really love doing the photos and audio samples when I have the time!

Lovely. Absolutely lovely. What kind of tone were you working toward with this build? And are you happy with how that came out?

Thanks for sharing your work with the forum.

Thanks Joe! My customer is a good player who enjoys both fingerstyle and flat picking ... so the instrument had to have some nuance and definition with a lighter finger attack, but lots of headroom for a bit more aggressive pick attack. I went for a nice solid note fundamental that was a solid foundation before launching into the overtone series. I love the result. The guitar just reached my customer and he sounds pleased as well!

Here's the last photo folks ... I'll have an audio file for you later tonight or tomorrow!

Beautiful as always, I am sorry to hear you won't be posting but one more build this year. I look forward to your audio montage as always!!!
