oh that top, that sexy as silk red quilted top....mate you've pulled a stunner on your first. Standing and applauding.
Yes! I made the covers from some African mahogany I had lying around from yacht projects. This is the first time they have been photographed so you didn't miss them earlier.
And yes! the quilt has popped far better that I thought it was going to. It looked very subdued and bland in the raw. If I was doing it again I could probably have afforded it a little bit more sanding/preparation even though we were worried about the thinness of the quilt but the TruOil is very forgiving. Could have done without the veneer bubbling though. I have since found plenty of comments on the web about "do not put water on the guitar, the timber loves it" and I never will. All good experience for the next one.

Very nice Greg, that quilt top has turned out beautifully. Well done.
Great job, Greg! Looks superb. Big pat on the back for you.
Gotta be happy with how that turned out for a first build. Well done mate.
Considering how nervous you were at the beginning, that is a brilliant effort Greg!
Great job Greg.
Awesome Greg, love the headstock shape and the body colour has come up a treat.
