Cocobolo parlour classical

Post by 56nortondomy » Sat Sep 28, 2013 7:06 pm

I've finally finished this one, after putting a hole in the top, and then having to remove the bridge after it was glued because it moved and i didn't notice, plus a whole pile of other mishaps. It's taken just on 12 months, i'm not completely happy with it, just glad it's done at last.

Wow, that's one sweet little beauty! The end result is certainly worth every single mishap during building I'd say.
Not sure if I would be brave enough to put on such solid looking armrest, but it does not look wrong at all and the whole guitar is a real eye-catcher! :cl :cl :cl

OK, that makes you a less brave man than I thought you were Wayne, but the guitar still looks awsome good. :D

Thanks Eric and Steve. Markus the armrest isn't big the guitar is little. Wayne
