Finally Finished

Post by lyricalgeek »

After 6 years (with a very long 5yrs and 10 months break), I've finally finished my first guitar. Most fun was actually figuring out how to fix the screw ups, and there were a lot.

Camatillo B/S and Sitka Bearclaw Top

Looks great! Love that bearclaw. What finish did you use? It took me almost a year to finish my first. On to the next and the next and the next...

Finished with a French Polish - Blonde lacquer

As to the sound, I'm delightfully surprised at how good it sounds.

May use it on a recording soon.

That is some spectacular looking wood. I've not heard much about Camatillo as a tonewood. How would you describe it?

Nice Work...!
