It plays great. The sound is a bit stiff but will hopefully open up with some more play time. Anyway here she is.

Stewmac 000 DONE!
Here is my completed SM 000. Obviously I owe big thanks to many on this forum who assisted with issues along the way. The neck tongue is not glued yet as I wanted to set it up and check neck angle, etc and luckily it is right on. I will glue it at next string change.

Re: Stewmac 000 DONE!
nice work.
why does the fretboard ext. need to be glued down anyway?

I don't think it has to be glued, just think it will keep things more stable/steady at the bolt on neck joint is all. I might just run a little glue in there and tack it downpete nardo wrote:nice work.

Thanks Kevin. It feels good indeed. Honestly it may be a long while before I would build another one. Time and money always short on.Kevin Sjostrand wrote:Looks really nice Pryde, how does it feel to be done?
