Hello chello,

One beautiful, weissenborn style guitar there mate! I love the instrument.

Your guitar pear shape looks great and your wood and appointments are ascetically in harmony. Excellent workmanship there too! I see your guitar is a little thicker than originals and is it larger at the lower bout. Looks like the soundhole is larger too! Great design! Congratulations. Any sound samples?

So who are you studying Lutherie with?

Welcome to the forum mate.

Cheers

Alan
