Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I just finished my first guitar. Neck is a bit of mahogany door saddle with mahogany stripwood glued on. Sounds a lot better than I thought it would.

Very nice! I like that tailpiece.
very nice,  better then my first for sure.
Impressive!!!

Nice job mate. I haven't got my first build completed yet but you've just inspired me to crack on and get it done.

cheers

Sammy

very well thought out and executed, love the coin and sound holes.

                              Cheers Ron

You have done a fine job on your first. Nice soundholes, and a nice looking neck. Good job.

I like the use of the coin. Gives me an idea for all those Chilean pesos I have left over from a trip about 10 years ago. Very nice build.

 

EDIT:  Hey! I just found some Norway 1 Krone coins in the cup on my desk.  They even have a hole already in them!

 

Appreciate the comments. Found a lot of help and inspiration in the discussions here. Made a heap of mistakes and tried to work round them. As the saying goes, "Perfection is the enemy of 'good enough'".

Well  If "good enough " was what u were hunting u certainly found it !!!!   excellant box ,,  really like the sound holes,,,,

 

Very well done !!

I am doing my first builds. I hope to do as well as you.   AA++

I'm not sure if the Queen approves.
