Hey Serge...At least you don't have to worry about your high E rolling off the edge on that one...

Rich

It's as is nobody really listened to me when i mentionned that the neck was crooked, the first time i showed it!

Serge, you are one humble man,my friend. Sorry for smiling when looking at your first build.
Clinton

No biggie Clinton, that first one i did without the help of the OLF and without Cumpiano and Natelson and without a plan! Why am i so humble? because so was my goal and so were the material involved, it was just a test with plywood and the whole guitar cost me less than 20 bucks!





I would probably have reacted differently had i bought a kit or had i spent hundreds of dollars on my first and ended up with these results tho but what am i saying, had i known the OLF prior to building this one, i would have never shown it!

And I bet it still sounds like a guitar, right? No matter how hard we try to mess 'em up, they still sound like guitars! It's magic!!!

Indeed Carlton! This guitar is a miracle in itself!

No Hesh, i still want the guys from across the pond to talk to me afterwards!

[QUOTE=Serge Poirier] Marc, your fingerboard alignment is perfect
compared to mine, check on this picture for the big E string on my first
build, the neck is so off centered that i call my guitar 10 to 6!

Th military have developed guns that can shoot around corners....youve
developed a guitar that you can play around the corner. Brilliant!!kiwigeo38850.0990625

Marc,

Pics of my classical below: Note discrepancy between fingerboard centre
line and soundboard seam in first pic. Not so obvious in second pic and
even less obvious when the pencil mark on the bridge gets erased.
