Hello World! My first guitar project

[Woltz]

Great job so far Ross. Back at the beginning of the thread when you were having burning issues and tear out it may not necessarily be something that you did, Tassie Oak/Vic Ash is renowned for that. I had the same issue on my tele thinline. The comfort contours were a good idea for weight relief as well I would expect.

Oh right, I did no know that. Definitely something to remember. I'm really loving the look of this wood with the paint and finish I've applied, so I'm considering doing a second one. I'm thinking about doing a complete "hand tools only" build, but I'm still missing some key tools. I'd want a router plane, spokeshave, brace and bits. If I went down that route at least I won't need to worry about tools burning and blowing out the wood!
