Hi Bob, getting close to the exciting part of a build. Looks nice.

Yes - I find it very hard to remain patient as the build approaches the end - I really want to hear it sing!

Strung up this morning. D'Addario XS Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Medium. Happy with the sound and feel, and with the finish (at least from about 3 feet away)! Nice volume and tone. Need to come up with a sound sample.

Thanks Martin. I've made a start on a pair of mandolins, in Englemann Spruce and River Oak, and an octave mandolin, in Sitka and Northern Silky Oak. I am really enjoying learning to play mandolin, and I find building them present a different set of challenges to guitar construction.
