Many of you know me for my Jigs but John Reid Took a class with me to build a guitar. His first guitar , based off a pre war Martin Design. 14 Fret Dred with some figured African Mahogany Nitro finish , 5/16 red spruce braced . A maple walnut chevron purfling. Simple and sounds killer. Top is sitka and Hot Hide glue construction. Hope you like it.

Nice looking dread for a no. 1 John.

He certainly looks happy with it.
