..it "only" took me a little over a year to finish, but I´m more than satisfied with the result, since I had no experince with woodworking when i started. The next build should hopefully be faster and better!

The guitar is based on a Bruno parlor from 1885 with a x-bracing, instead of a ladderbracing.
Sitka spruce - soundboard, braces
Indian Rosewood - back, sides
Mahogany - neck, braces, blocks, kerfing.
Ebony - fingerboard, bridge, headstock overlay and endpin.
Maple - bindings, bridgeplate, end wedge
Bone - nut, saddle and bridge pins.
MOP inlays.
StewMac golden restoration tuners.
French polished.

looks great

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous. I like your choice of fingerboard inlays.

Gorgeous! How does it sound?

You can be proud of that as a first guitar (2nd, 3rd or 100th for that matter):)

Thanks! The inlays are very Larson-inspired. The guitar sounds REALLY good i my opinion. But then again: I´m just glad that it didn´t break into pieces when I tuned up the strings :) It has a very balanced tone, but its a small box so not much bass. I´m planning on making a little sound-demo-video sometime soon - I upload it when its done :)

yep, looks mighty purty indeed. Nice work

What a cutey! very, very purdy and an awesome 1st effort...it has a very understated elegance that make it very easy on the eye...well done...I too would love to hear what it sounds like

Regards Mark.

Looks darn nice for a first guitar, impressive! Love to hear what it sounds like too!

I am calling you on that - it can't be your first. Excellent
