Default It's Finally Done!

After a couple of delays, I finally finished my OM style kit. I got it right after Christmas, and finally dialed in the action last weekend.
Overall, I would have done a couple of things differently. But for a first acoustic build, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Nothing is finally done. You have just taken the first step in a long journey. What are you going to build next?



Oh yeah, nice job.

Very Nice. Is that Zebrawood? I'm curious; what would you do differently? (Other than not sitting it on a concrete porch and leaning it against a brick wall!! )

Yes, the back and sides are zebrawood.
One thing I would do the next time around is grain fill. I assumed that that step was already done. [emoji6]
I would also be a bit more careful when shooting the nitro. I had a couple of runs and sags that were a PITA to deal with.

I'm thinking a Tele kit. I have my OM and a strat, so a Tele just seems so logical to me.
