Not trying to distract from the 2 great build threads that Bruce has posted, but this is the one I use for a couch guitar. I built it a couple of years ago, and it is a fun little instrument to play. It is similar to a size 5 Terz, but has a large sound hole. So, I guess it is a TR Terz. Pau Ferro body with sitka top. The scale is 21.375", and the body width is 11.5".

Nice looking guitar.
I have had good luck working with Pau Ferro - no reactions as some people have had. How deep did you make the body?

That looks great! My niece asked me if I might make a guitar for her young son. I think something like this would be perfect.

The guitar is 4" at the end pin, and 3 3/16" at the heel. I included some more pictures above and one of them shows the side view. Here it is:

That’s a cool guitar. I’m a big fan of small guitars myself. I built one to play reclining on the couch a while back and ended giving it to my nephew. Here’s a quick pic of mine.
