Its my first custom guitar , lattice design with elevated fretboard.
The only thing that is decided so far is that will have a cedar top with a colorful rosette.
Probably i will open a thread on the custom sub forum.

Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing and reading all about the build, but especially to hearing some samples of your new Paloedimopoulos(?) when it's completed!

Thank you Trevor. I will definitely post sound samples when the guitar is completed but you will have to wait...

Wow, it's going to be a beautiful guitar! I'll be looking forward to your Build Thread on the Custom sub forum (not too many classicals there).

What made you choose Paleodimopoulos over other builders? Have you played one of his guitars before?

That's quite the video and a huge stage. I was able to make out the banner at the 2:43 mark "Guitar Foundation America".

How long before you have it in your hands?

Wow, what a beautiful guitar. You must be very excited.
I'm having my 1st custom started, just now by Mark Hatcher. Called a Penelope, I was fortunate to try one and something really clicked.
Good luck and enjoy your new build!!

The guitar in that video has outstanding projection of sound.

The body of the guitar is finished no photos though because Giannis don't want to reveal anything about the inside of the guitar....

Tuning machines will be Scheller...
and case will be Hoffee.


The guitar will be finished in a month.

Been there! Dake Traphagen also didn't want to post photos of the interior of a guitar he made for me. The steel string builders seem much more open to sharing such content. I didnt care either way but thought he might want the exposure. Not so! He was mostly concerned about his double top design. I got the hoffee also, they are excellent, cases have really advanced.

Will he take pictures of the outside of the guitar, i.e. top, back, neck, headstock? Or will you take those pictures?
