That was my first build, definitely not a luthier, professional or otherwise. The whole project wandered between so excited and so frustrated and in the end I feel myself considering whether I should do another on, if only to find out whether it gets easier... but really more important to spend more time practicing, to see if I can actually turn myself into a real guitarist.

Hi Steve, in the business world they call it continuing improvement or pursuit of excellence, and yes, each subsequent build generally becomes easier than the first through the new lessons learned along they way. Seriously addictive hobby this guitar building.

Nothing worth watching on TV so might as well do something useful and build another guitar.....at least that is my excuse.
