Thanks Chris, i'll avoid the laminated abalone like pest!    I assume that you had woodworking experience prior to building this jewel, right?

Edit: Don't know why but i feel like throwing my first out the window!

Awsome first guitar Chris, you have a great eye for the visual and what works together. I love the rosette and the figure in your fingerboard. Keep up the fantastic work.

Beautiful work Chris. I can't believe that this is your first serious experience with wood working/guitar building. I love it. This is what I have slated for my first. I can only hope that it looks half as good as yours.

Chris - Lovely guitar, and congrats on having the first one be a one-footer. I think mine are still at least three-footers. Number one looked good from across the yard.

Did you borrow an X12 or X14 body shape from Mr. Taylor? Did you borrow his bracing pattern too? I've always liked 12's considerably more than 14's.
