Kathy,
A beautiful guitar, and I really like how well you document your build process.

You were one of my early luthier heros, because of all the information on your
site that helped me build my first couple of guitars. [:Y:] [:Y:]

Thanks, Gene! I appreciate the kind words. Today (hopefully) I'm going to be stringing it up.... we'll see how it really sounds then. The kind of crummy thing is that right now (actually, for a couple of months now) I have a rotator cuff problem with my left shoulder, so holding up my left arm for very long at the angle needed to play the guitar is a bit of a problem! (Hoping it heals by the time the Healdsburg festival comes along, as I've signed up for a few player workshops...)
