Finished my first acoustic guitar

[Mark Farrar]

I did have a thread on here with my build but it has taken me longer than I thought and I haven't posted for quite some time but finally after 2 years it is now finished!

[SJ VanSandt]

Wow Mark, that's just stunning! Did you do the inlay? How did it come out sound-wise?

[Mark Farrar]

Thanks it's sounding really good especially considering its new and only had the strings on a day. Looking forward to hearing how it changes as it "opens up" eventually.

I bought the inlay and then inlayed it myself, took me about 10 hrs to rout it and fit it but I think it was worth it!

Just noticed your thread on Redwood, I used a Sinker top and was a bit worried how it would sound as I hadn't played a sinker redwood guitar only normal redwood on a couple of Lowdens at a show but I'm glad I chose it now I have heard it. I'm not very good at describing sound but will try and do a recording when I get a chance.

Congrats! It looks awesome!

[SMan]

Nice looking guitar. Congratulations on your build.

[Joel Stehr]

Congrats, Mark! Looks great!!

[JamesO]

Congratulations, Mark! Especially for sticking with it for so long. I know how hard that can be, and many have simply decided to call it quits.

[Halcyon/Tinker]

Bravo! Looks great!

[billgennaro]

Looks good, but it's not complete until you get that truss rod cover in place!

[Mark Farrar]

Thanks all, lol trust someone to notice I haven't put a truss cover on yet! Yes it's been difficult finding time for the build with work and unexpected house move then having a daughter but got there in the end and will hopefully pass it down to my daughter when she is old enough.
