Thought I'd post the last pics of #3 in the white.
She's off for finish work tomorrow so the next time you see her she'll be
all dressed up!




Thanks for looking,
Chris

That looks very nice Chris!

Do you mind if I ask what is the tape inside of the box covering? (on each side of the label)

Great job again, I can't wait to see it when you get it back.

Love that mahogany! Can't wait to see that pop under finish. The work looks good and crisp--well done.

Great job again, I can't wait to see it when you get it back.[/QUOTE]

The tape is actually hiding two deep chisel gouges that go all the way
through the back! I figured a little tape would hold it all together



Truthfully, this is a little tip I picked up from dear ol' Hesh.
It's a piece of mylar that is taped over the label to keep it from getting
damaged during the rest of the construction and finishing phases.
On #2, when I was wet sanding, I had water drops fall directly on the label
and ended up having to try and get it out of there and then apply a new
one. Thought this idea was well worth trying.

[QUOTE=Hodges_Guitars] VERY nice looking geetar Chris!  What is in

For #4 I was thinking of building somethin out of some of the goodies
from the swap meet.

I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool to have a thread where people could
post builds that were directly a result of the swap?

Cheers,
Chris

That is clean and beautiful!  It will be bold under the finish.

Arnt and Andy,

The wood used on this one was ribbon mahogany on the top back &
sides. The binding is nicely figured walnut and the end graft and heel cap
are claro walnut cutoffs from my previous 2 builds.
