"Cry me a river", is my 3rd build.

Many lessons learned, I hope. Too many frets, did not take into consideration scale length therefore bridge is a little higher on body than I wanted. Also forgot to cut fret board to compensate for a bolt for nut so its 1/8" off. Could not save the original top so I used 3/32 ply. Great acoustic volume. Maple neck with purple heart fret board and lam on head.

  • Bridge location looks good to me, nice proportion of the body, and the "tears" from the drain cover on the sound hole look neat. The purple heart looks really great!

  • There will be countless "I should ah... could ah..." moments! That's why you can hardly wait to build the next one! finished 8 in the last 2 weeks while up north, ready to sit down and see how they sound now that I'm back home...

  • That looks lovely, and very distinctive.
