I have a link in my website that shows my builds all in one place. I thought I would share it. I know this seems like indulgence on my part, but I'm proud of my efforts. I am an amateur, as I have not sold a single one. I just love the craft. My website is just to show off my work. My collection is getting ridiculous. [uncle]

Very nice collection of work. They all appear to be nice guitars and I'm sure you get a a lot of joy playing them.

They look on the level of pro to me, I'd start making some money if I were you. Soon enough you will find it necessary as you will have no place to store all those nice guitars ;)

Loving that 335 style. Is it semi hollow or full hollow?

Love the rosette on the ON THE BENCH tab. How do you adhere your pieces, and keep them from sticking to the work board?

Thanks for the positive comments. I always like to see everybody's work, so I figured you'd enjoy looking at mine.

David - The CS-336 style (not actually 335) is semi-hollow. It's a routed slab of mahogany, topped with maple like a Les Paul, rather than bent ribs for sides.

Karl - I typically glue (CA) the pieces of segmented rosettes on a piece of poster board (or matboard). Once it's completed, I peel off the poster board (and scrape with razor blade) before inlaying it into the top. As with everything, there are many ways to get to the same place...
