building guitars

[guitit145]

Howdy, I'm just gonna post a few pictures of 3 builds i am working on. They are the first three guitars I have done since I completed the Galloup journeyman course.
One is a small guitar of my friends design (sitka & peruvian walnut), one a OOO cutaway (sitka and zebrawood), and one drednought (red spruce and striped bloodwood)


I paid for one of them and I am building the other two for family members who paid the supply costs, I would like to build seven more guitars before I do one for a customer, for I am a man of many, many mistakes.

I am new to the forum, such a cool place! I am trying not to make this a building thread with lots of pictures, I am just excited to be about the guitars taking shape.

Dude! Resize the pix!

What you want is 50k- files and specify about 800 pixels wide . . . Please.

Hiya, and welcome! Looking forward to seeing your builds...

Like the purfling on the first one...did you make it?

That binding is cool, a la Martin 26-30 styling. Great job.

At this point, no link and no picture that I can see

I'm sorry, I am trying to resize these photos, this computer is bare, no paint, no nothing. I'm trying to fix it.

Seek the middle ground, grasshopper. The goal of the pic sizing is get the pic as large as possible w/o causing the forum itself to require more real estate. Getting it wrong is particularly hard on those of use who use an iPad.

thanks, smaller pictures will help hide all the gaps in my binding. I hope to have them all done before thanksgiving and I'll post finished pics then.

How did you find the Galloup course?

[guitit145]

It was mentioned in the back of Dan Erlewines shop manual I had.
