So I officially started the next guitar.
The picture shows how it all starts. I did get the sides thicknessed, profiled, and bent. They are in the mold and I have the end block glued in. The neck block is in progress. I put the mortise in before I glue it in, so the have cut that in, but I still have to size and shape it. The main thing is.........I HAVE FINALLY STARTED! YAH!

Walnut and Redwood, should be a nice looking combo.

Hey Kev, nice project! Always nice to get another underway. I was going to build a walnut with butternut top, but got talked into another project instead, so that one will have to wait...unless I decide to work on two at the same time!

Just a couple of pics so you know I am doing something, not to bore you all.
It is nice to be underway on this one.

Kevin thanks for posting. I am looking forward to see the guitar progress. I really like the look of the walnut back.

Very nice Kevin, post all the pix you can.

I've noticed that everybody's shop is more organized than Tony's!

Nothing exciting yet, but a little more progress.
I did join the top plates Saturday too, so I'll be working on the rosette and all soon.
