Default Sam Guidry "Puzzled"

Hi everyone,
My name is Sam Guidry and i am an instructor at the Galloup guitar building school. i build classical and fingerstyle steel strings and here is one of my latest builds.
The inlay is all done by hand and it is meant to be a whimsical take on how to make a guitar, one piece at a time

Whatever host site you use for the photos should have a direct link option. Click or copy that, then come back to the forum and click on the little photo icon (insert image) and paste the url in the box that pops up. Can't wait to see it, Sam!

Hey Sam,

Is this your 25"/ 26" fan fret that you had started after you guys finished my guitar? Love the puzzle inlays. Especially on the lower bout side and back.

Sam, that is one very cool guitar!! I need to get my hands on a fan-fret to see if I even notice a difference while playing. Would love to hear how this sounds! While you say you build fingerstyle guitars, this one looks like it could handle some nice strumming as well. Just beautiful!

Sam, what's the perp fret 7? What's the scale difference? I have a fan fret in motion by Mike Baranik right now so I'm very interested in fan frets.
