Guitar One: Plunging ahead
. . . with my eyes closed and my foot mashed to the gas pedal.
I've wanted to build a guitar for ages and am finally getting some splinters. The idea is to build something based on a Gibson LG2 body style, simple ornamentation, just basic stuff that woodbutcher can aspire to build. Top will be old sitka spruce; sides and back are maritime rosewood; neck is honduras mahogany; fingerboard and bridge, indian rosewood. I have a block of old straight grain adirondack spruce that I'll use for the braces. We'll see what this old procrastinator can come up with for Guitar One.

About 1/2 of Guitar One completed; currently intimidating me on account of the neck geometry.
