Default My JYOM

In August 2010 I went through Jeffrey Yong's guitar making course. It was an experience I cherished. While my pictures journal is posted in on of my photo album in my FB page. However it seems like there was no picture of the completed guitar. Actually I built an OM model then. So I thought why not share the pictures? Here they are:

That's really a stunning guitar, especially for a first try! What are the woods used? It looks like the top and back are the same.
