Hello all,
I posted pics of this guy about 3 weeks ago. Yesterday I finished it all up and put strings on her. She has Brz RW Back and sides, Euro Spruce top and a mahogany neck. FB and Bridge are ebony. I think this is my best sounding guitar yet. It has only been strung up for 12 hours and it already beats my dread I built 6 years ago. Thanks for looking....







Thanks again for looking.
