Hello!
I thought i might share some pictures of my first build that i completed a few months ago.
I'm currently working on three more guitars.
I didn´t document the process that well but i hope you enjoy the few pictures i upload anyway!
I´ll upload some more pictures of the finished guitar if you guys want to!

Sweden
Sitka spruce and EIR
Jointed top
Jointed back
Working on the bracing in my apartment
Thicknessed top, i was stupid enough to cut the soundhole before i did the rosette, but i managed to align it anyway.
Thicknessed back
EIR rosette made of scrap from the back
Another one on the rosette.
Working some more on the bracing
Almost finished top, i scalloped the braces a bit more.
Hanging on the wall, a few pieces missing
Shaping the headstock and volute
Sides bent and blocks glued
Top glued, chipped a little when i trimmed it but no worries.
Saying goodbye to the inside!
Back glued
Jumping forward a little bit, just installed the flamed maple binding.
And ebony in the back
i just couldnt resist giving the back a few layers of shellac.
Made the dovetail with a handsaw and chisels
A few more layers and it´s done
Installed frets, a little cleaning and polishing left
And here she is!
