Hello.
I finished the guitar about a month ago and I´m extremely happy that I started this project. The guitar sounds way better than I could ever imagine. I have some work left to do as I would like to lower the strings a little bit.
Thanks for the help during the building process.

Very, very nice looking guitar, very clean work! You did an awesome job! Love the head stock logo.
Time for another one?

Hear Hear! Looks like a professional job there Haggis.
I like it! I get amazed at you guys doing these wonderful headstock inlays on your first guitars.

Nice! I agree, you have to share how you got that logo so nice and clean. What tuners did you go with as well?

The headstock was to complicated for me to do. I tried to make a clean line around it but no pen was thin enough. I couldn´t reach the smaller corners/radius. I used the dremmel on some mdf and I did a very poor job. So after a few attempts I had to realize that it was to complicated for me (a beinner) to do by hand. Therefor I transfered the DXF file to the company next doore.....they had the tool I needed:) That´s why it´s so clean.
But it looks quite nice....and next time I´ll make something more simple.
The tuners was delivered in the kit. From John Hall.
I´ll start to build a new guitar after this summer, but I don´t know what to build.
