Default My home made guitar from thailand.

first of all, very sorry , my English skill is very bad. and i'm newbie and still cant use the words "luthier" as mine. I learn making guitar from this web.
please advice me . so i'll make it better.

my inspiration / credit to :
Simpson for armrest and head shape
Jeffery yong for scoop cutaway
Michael Baskins for bridge

Scale length: 25.5/25.0 (little fanned fret)
Top: old european spruce
B/S: Thai Padauk
Binding: Rosewood , abalone













and this is my older build and testing of all thai wood(the top, back and side) guitar. the body shape is not final , practice many inlay skill(still not perfect).
but this is sound from thai wood called "JamJuRee or Monkey pod".

Wow!

That's your first guitar build?!?

That looks gorgeous. What a beautiful guitar. And I really like your inlay logo.

I love all the components of the style - nice headstock profile, nice armrest bevel, partial cutaway, even the truss rod cover is elegant.

These are absolutely stunning guitars, up there with some of the best I have seen. The recordings sound really good too. You certainly can call yourself a luthier!
