Post subject: | Classical: Scratch build #2 |
Here are some pictures I promised from an earlier thread introducing myself to the forum. Spruce top, Mahogany B/S. French polish finish. Everything was built from scratch except a preslotted fingerboard and the bridge. Rosette is maple, mahogany and rosewood. I pretty much followed the Cumpiano book except I used a mold and it has a bolt on neck. Thanks for looking. |

Pretty guitar Sam!! How does the classical sound with the Mahogany? I would expect a really mellow sounding guitar?? Thanks for sharing! |

Thanks for the kind words. I've got a number of things to improve on my current build - another classical: getting better fits without gaps-neck to body, binding, rosette channel etc.; improving my french polishing technique and the resulting finish; and much more. It's nice to hear encouraging words and know you are heading in the right direction. |
