Success - aint it sweet

[jartzh]

Just finished my first guitar and want to thank all here for the help.
I used the Martin manual, Bill Cory's book, Martin helpdesk, and this forum.
Dont know what I would have done without all of them.

I now have an unique guitar, built from the D-41 kit but with koa binding on the neck, ebony neck, wenge bridge, mother of pearl on the binding of the headstock.

Just bought a case for it and looking for a pickup.

Thanks again to all!

We are all here to help

Feel free to post pictures of your guitar! We all like pictures! Its always encouraging and motivating for me when I see what other people are doing.

Like we say on my metalworking forum, "No pictures, it didn't happen". (This forum needs smilies and a "Like" button).
