Looking good, Paul!!!
This is something I hope to do when my children grow up and when I have more time to my own. But I will start with a build kit first. If I am able to, I may want to attend the guitar building class by Kevin G. That will mean I have to fly over thousand miles!!!

Wow, that guitar looks great so far. But instead of the guitar causing GAS, your home office is causing HOAS. I want that office in my house!

That may be true - but you don't want to go through what I did to get it
Been working from home for 3.5 years and loving it! It makes a good guitar shop for "clean" steps too!!!! Thanks!

Sunday and Monday evenings we were able to spend a little more time on the guitar. Most of the time was spent practicing cutting rosettes and channels. We're getting better - but not quite ready to cut into the actual top. Maybe one more practice and I'll be brave enough to give it a try on my own.
Done since our last post: • kerfing installed on both sides • back of the guitar has been dish sanded to a 15' radius • butt wedge (my favorite guitar term) was designed & glued up • butt wedge installed • crack-stop linings installed Here's a couple shots from last night. We hope to have some significant hours on the build over the coming 3-day weekend!!!

3-day Weekends Rock!
Kyle and I got to spend most of the day in the garage working on the guitar today. It is amazing how LONG things take when you are doing them for the first time. I did another test rosette - and felt satisfied enough to do the real thing!!! We also cut the channels in the kerfing for the back braces and glued the back on! This is SO much fun! Here's the photo updates: We'll move on to bracing the top tomorrow - and then we have to wait for some wood to arrive before we can close the box. Maybe next weekend.

Thanks everyone - but when it takes you 8 hours to do two steps you have time to be clean - hahahahahaha
Stay tuned for more to come.
