Blues Creek Maple/Spruce Hauser Classical Kit finished!

[koolimy]

Hi! I would like to show off my new Maple/Spruce classical guitar kit build from Blues Creek Guitars, based on a 37(?) Hauser.

Mr. Hall is the world's leader in providing flexibility with your kit, so I made quite a few changes from the original plan. They were:

1. Bolt on Neck Joint
2. 640mm scale length
3. 1 & 15/16 nut width

I also made quite a few aesthetic decisions, as this guitar was made as a tribute to the white and black cat in the pictures. I asked for a pale Maple B&S set, a pale Spruce top, Ebony binding, an Ebony Rosette, and most importantly a Headstock that incorporates my cat's Black/White/Black face. The tuners also had ebony buttons to match the headstock design.

As you can see in the pictures, Mr. Hall did a fabulous job of designing the guitar based on my vague ramblings. It is not a perfect guitar because ultimately I had to build and finish it, but I could not be happier with the design elements of the guitar. I think they give the guitar an understated and elegant look.

This is my 3rd build, and sound wise it is the best one yet. It defies all the stereotypes of Maple and has a thunderous, rich, warm sound. I am obviously on an emotional high but to me this guitar sounds as good as any guitar I have heard on Siccas Guitars, Guitar Salon International, and Dream Guitars.

I also know that the reason why this guitar sounds so good, is because Mr. Hall provided me with an excellent top.

I can't thank Mr. Hall enough for providing me with such a great kit, and for being willing to deal with all my weird experiments and changes to the normal plans. He truly is a gem for our community.

The bad thing is, that I want to build another one LOL. I'm thinking of returning to steel strings and building a 000 12 fret this time.

Hope y'all have fun building!

Thank you Mr. Hall! It was an amazing kit. I couldn't have done anything without you and your kits and guidance really helped me find a hobby that I really really enjoy.

You are by far the best supplier of addictive substances ever.

Wow! This is beautiful! Gets me pretty excited to start a maple dred kit I just ordered from John.
