You redefined the word "perfect".

Can't say any more really, I'm still too shocked.

Finally someone else insists on blending the comfort contours into the body's outline! If the awe-inspiring look of everything else hadn't already won me over, that'd have done it. Also, that slice of neck scrap that's going to hold the string ferruless on the back is just pornographic.

CRAP!!! I'm not supposed to watch porn at work! :ugh:

but seriously, that's one of the best builds I've seen on this forum so far! :D
So you're going to give it a black stain?


Nope ive tried so hard to stain that top but the result is not good enough :p
That wood is one of the most hard-working ive ever worked on.. Imagine how hard was carving it XD
Its so hard it barely takes the stain.
i already finished it natural some days ago. i just need to take some pic :)






Thanks to anyone for kind words :)

where did you learn to build guitars like that? there are so many little things that usually are over looked, or forgotten.
Build is not the correct word for this.
Craft is much better, weave in to existence perhaps
This project is very well done, sound samples and more pics please!! XDDD

With such beatyful woods, I'd expect a natural finish looking really good.
The other day my dirty mind was thinking about a whitewash/satin finish..

Looking forward to the pics ;)

Well i learnt checking on the web how other luthiers works and i also found very useful to watch all the tools for sale on stewmac: you often dont really need to buy every single tool but they just give you a good input on what you need to do a certain job, you can probably build on your own some of those tools or just modify a standard tool to your needs.

Another good way of getting a good result on a job im doing for the first timr that i dont really know how to do yet is getting out of the lab, maybe going on pc and thinking the best way to do that job. I will may need to buy a new tool but this doesnt bind me to use those tools i got in front of me on my lab only.

I know that my english sucks but i hope i was understandable :)

LOL where did you learn this? :D




I've got to slot the nut and mount strings, then will come other pics :)
