Default look what I did

Hi all,
I've just completed a two year course in guitar making after retiring in March '08 I was accepted on the course, a great experience.
Here is one of the instruments I made in Bosnian Maple & Euro Spruce top with Hide Glue and French Polished, it plays and sounds great (i'm told).




One of my fellow students, GUILLAUME trying it out

regards
Geordie

Hi YJ,
and thanks for your comment, yeah I'll be building more, got some things “on the go” but taking a break for the summer, the course was 5 days a week for 2 collage years fairly intense at times. I've got a 16 inch (LB) 12 fret, “closed box” and other bits and pieces but need to set up a good work area with humidity control, then you wont get me outa there.
Regards
Geordie

Excellent! I love the rosette - it fits in nicely with the understated flair of the guitar.
