Finished up this little beauty yesterday morning. Strung her up with some Martin Retro strings and she played beautifully with almost no adjustment. Only had to lower the saddle a bit. I do enjoy the size of this one. Perfect for sittin' back and doing a little pickin'. Thanks to Ken and his well put together kit. Through these two kits from I have gained so much confidence. There's no looking back now.
The particulars:
Maple sides
Maple back with rosewood stripe
Sitka spruce top
Herringbone purfling and rosette
East Indian rosewood bindings
East Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge
Maple neck laminated with rosewood stripe
Brazilian rosewood headstock veneer
Brazilian rosewood tail wedge and heel cap
Maple inlay and maple dots
Finish is Tru Oil
Thanks again to all on the forum.
My second kit is done, my maple 00-14

That sure is a beauty! I love the contrast of the maple with the rosewood.

Very nice, John. How do you like the Tru-Oil now that the guitar is finished?

This is my second with Tru Oil and like the appearance a lot. So easy and low tech to apply. Seems durable so far. I would certainly recommend it especially for someone new to guitar finishing.
