Welcome to the forum.

Any chance of a photo of the headstock? I can see the headstock at a distance in Picture 4 but it seems to be missing tuners.

What sort of finish did you put on the instrument?

Nice work Aquilib, welcome to the ANZF

You are obviously very passionate about your guitar building and playing and you have done well for your first effort. Did you use a form to shape your guitar? I find it help a lot to do this because it keeps the shape very even during the build. I must say that the rosewood you have used looks very beautiful, so nice and dark in colour, is that a shellac finish you have used?

Cheers

Kim

Hi Aqualib and welcome to the forum. Nice work getting your first guitar finished.

As Kim said it certainly is a nice piece of rosewood you have used.

Could you tell us a little about how you built your guitar?

For those wondering why there are no further posts from our Indian friend, he's been banned after ignoring numerous requests from forum admins/moderators to desist from advertising his online tonewood/guitar parts business via posts on this forum and also via PMs and emails to forum members.

A quick Google search reveals that our friend has been busy joining up with numerous other luthiers forums and attempting to advertise his wares. His activities also include advertising his business via comments left on luthier's personal weblogs. These are not the actions of an honest businessman.....this is straight out spamming of the worst kind.
