Looks great Allan, they're two of the nicest looking timbers we're lucky enough to be able to use and you've done them justice. Is it a keeper?

Thanks Wayne

I kept the last one I built so this one will go on the market. Hopefully to someone local.

This guitar is more is a strummer due to the hard top and I’m more of a light player, so cedar is more my personal style, however with a pickup this Blackwood guitar would sound amazing for a light player as well.

Thanks Trent.

It might be my last build for a while as I’m going to be taking a break, so it’s been good to do a build thread for something different.

I hope at least one person got something from it.

Two people :)

Sad to hear you're taking a break from the building Allan. Your contribution to the forum has always been generous and informative. Stay in touch even if you're not actively building.
