Did he start this guitar over a year ago?



I hope he noticed this before he glued the back on, otherwise someone 75 years from now is going to think the guitar is older than it is!

Terrific build thread - beautiful guitar.

Ha ha! Yeah, good point. I'll have to get him to go in there with a dentist's mirror and an eraser.

That's so funny! There's a period of about first 15 days in January that I habitually date everything from the previous year.

Don't we all? I just did it yesterday for about the 14th time this year!

So we are now in the pore filling and sealing stage. Finish will be complete sometime next week, most likely . . . then a few weeks waiting for everything to cure. Not too far off!

Still waiting for the finish to cure, but some preliminary shots.

I had Alessi tuners on one of my guitars; I really, really like them.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to using them. I'm sure they are smooth as silk.
