    Guitar build

    My wife wanted to get something for our daughter as a graduation gift. She is always messing around with my guitar, so we decided to get her one built. This is being built by a good friend of ours who has been a luthier for many years. He now only builds a few a year, but he agreed to build one for her. He is sending pics of the build as he progresses. I thought some of you who play may find this interesting. We went and he had her pick out all the woods she wanted and the style she wanted. She wanted something a little smaller than a full size dred naught. He is building her a 12 fret OM. pics of progress to follow

      Keep the pictures coming. I want to fine tune my craft and one day take on a guitar, I think it would be so satisfying.

                              Nice! East Indian Rosewood? What kind of spruce for the top? Interesting bracing pattern.
