Sorry if this posted twice I have had some problems posting

I actually finished this beaty a few months back but I have been enjoying it soooo mucht hat I have not taken any pictures yet.
Actually as Dave White said to me a while ago you never really finish a guitar... :)

Anyway its a 000, sitka top, mahog back and sides, indian rosewood bindings and peghead vaneer, ebony FB and vintage tuners.

This (again as Dave White said to me a while back) guitar kicks donkey out of anything i have played yet. This inlcudes a brnad new A?2.5k Martin sat in my mates guitar shop and a vintage Martin that a customer brought in. In fact he played mine and said if he didnt have so many Martins he would have bought mine too.. :)

#2 will be starting soon and I am thinking sitka top with black walnut back and sides this time.

Thanks for looking.

And thanks to everyone for all the continued help and support.

Barry

Hey Barry, That's a great looking guitar. Did you really build that or did you hire a pro?

I know you are very proud of it. Congratulations!

A certain deja vu here

Well done ... again.

I'm looking forward to seeing the second one progress.

Get going you wont regret it
Quite possibly one of the most rewarding things that I have done (in the selfish not helping others category of course :))
