    Well, after much love she's finally finished.

    As usual for me, final assembly was a bit of a nightmare but finally sorted. All things considered I am quite pleased how she turned out.

    This is only my second guitar, but I am learning more and enjoying the journey more with each build. In fact I get disappointed when its finished. Just got to finish setting her up properly and I can start the next one.

    cheers

    Thanks Wokka, I'll have to try and take some better shots. These just don't do it justice.

    For someone like me who is more interested in playabilty than appearance, she turned out better than expected.

    Rob,
    Even with the issues you encountered, it's come out a beauty!

    Thanks Gav, coming from a professional like yourself I count that as very high praise. Those shots really don't do her justice but I'm pretty naff at taking photos so they are probably the best I can do. IRL if you get the right angle the grain on the back is almost 3D.

    Cheers mate

    Thanks Brendan, I knew there was a beautiful guitar under all that glue and filler somewhere, it just took time and patience to coax it out. Lol.
