Alan Cooley finished a LOO kit in Maple. I think he did a fine job

Re: alan cooley

Re: alan cooley
Very nice indeed. Thanks for the additional pics and welcome to the forum!!
Re: alan cooley
Three more pics and I will stop bragging!!!
I finished the pickguard today. 18th fret is slightly high on the high E side. Will fix that when I change strings and then I am REALLY done. Now if I can get the wife to let me start another one.....
Just in case anyone wants to know:
top: spruce
back/sides: maple
binding: rosewood w/ BW purfling
neck mahogany
fretboard, bridge, peghead veneer, pickguard: rosewood
peghead inlay: scrap maple from back
Thanks to John Hall for the great experience (and helpful answers) and to KMG for the mold and great info on neck geometry.

Re: alan cooley
Alan, very, very nice job. That peghead inlay is terrific. What a good idea!
Couldn't help noticing the stand you use. I've been looking for stands for mine and haven't found what I want. Yours looks like it. Can you give the make, model, where to get, etc?
Thanks, and congrats on an excellent job, especially for a 1st.

What??? In my house, I wear the pants! Of course, my wife tells me which pair..:-)
Seriously, very nice job. I'm not normally that fond of Maple but yours looks so good I may consider it.

Re: alan cooley
Alan pm'd me and gave me a source for that stand and I bought 3 of them. 2 for not-yet built guitars. They are great (inexpensive) - and they don't overshadow the guitar that's in them, a very nice display item. Since I don't travel yet with any guitars, this takes the place of a case for me.
Thanks, Alan.
Bob
Thanks, Alan.
