The guitar was built for Ron so I didn't play it much before sending it off and I didn't post any videos. I know he is working on a video himself and he will play/sing much better than I.
If you check my page there's a video with construction details and a little sound check plugged in and acoustic. Here's another one I did that hasn't been posted.
I really thought it would have popped more with the judges.
I wasn't in the contest for the prizes or to prove anything to myself or anyone else, but the build plan I already had in mind fit with the contest criteria that was subsequently announced. I likely would not have made a contest entry if this guitar was not already in the early stages of being built and regardless of the outcome, I'm very, very happy I did enter.
Maybe I just needed one more pack of sprockets. Hahahaha.

Amazing! Posted a video yet, would love to hear how it sounds.
The redwood and cooper go great together, so does the bridge. Looks great!

this guitar belongs in the blues hall of fame !
Thanks Bluesheart! It was a joy to build. A few frustrations taken as learning experiences and I'm really pleased with the result.
Amazing looking build!
