Karen was in my last semester's steel string building class. She has just finished her first guitar and needed help posting pics. This one is a beauty! I will let her comment on the guitar. Congratulations Karen!!

WOW!!! Gorgeous guitar...can't believe it's a first. I really like the way the headstock and bridge compliment each other. Fantastic rosette as well. We're all looking forward to Karen chiming in with her description. A pic of her proudly smiling face with the completed guitar would also be inspiring 
This also bodes well for the teacher as well! |

HI All, Thanks to Robbie for the great coaching and for posting the pictures! My next guitar is going to be walnut back and sides, with a combo engleman/sitka spruce top. BTW, guitar #1 sounds really good...pretty balanced tone but just enough bass for that martin like sound. I love it! |

Engleman/Sitka combination spruce top??? I'm interested in the thoughts behind such a combination. |

That Englemann sitka combo is the Lutz variety from Shane. It has very promising tap tones. |

Hey, Karen! Nice guitar! I especially like the "personal" approach you took in your design and appointments. Don't be a stranger! |
