Default Bowerbird Build

Hi Folks,

I've been getting some requests to see a build thread so here ya go! I'm about half way through this one, more pics to come. This is my Regent model (15.5" w/ narrow waist/shoulder). IRW/Euro build. I'm also building a IRW/Euro Avenue model (16"/small jumbo).

Thanks,
Pete

Pete - a belated welcome to the AGF. Looks like it's going to be one sweet guitar! Can't wait to see the completed pics.

Hi folks,

It's been a little while since my last post, but I finally got these back from finish and setup recently (along with a few others you can see on my website.) Here's a few pics of the finished goods, hope you like 'em. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Pete
