I have finally finished number 2, learned a lot, the form has been great source of tips, and seeing everyones work has been motivation, I look forward to improving with number 3.
The guitar has good volume and sustain, a tad bright at the moment but i know it will mellow with time, I am pleased with the tone, if someone can tell me how to post a sound file i could do that later.

I hope you all enjoy the images.

G'day Ricardo. That is a beautiful OM there mate! Love your wood choice and appointments.

To post a sound sample one way is to open a myspace site and upload your file to the site then in your post here on the forum, place the link to your myspace site. Or if you know someone who has a web site they can host the file for you.

Congratulations on a class instrument.

Cheers

Alan

That is one classy looking guitar mate, great work.

Lovely work Ricardo.

If you want to email me the sound file I'll put it on the server.

Nicely done Ricardo. Looking forward to hearing it.

That ones come up a treat Ricardo. What sort of top is on it? Pretty stunning piece of blackwood you got for the body too.

Thanks for the comments guys,
Allen the top is Swiss Spruce with bear claw.
Bob I will email you a sound file when i do one, Thanks

Very, very nice guitar Ricardo - You done good!

Beautiful,just beautiful Ricardo. From that lovely graceful headstock(I've already commented on) down to it's Tail graft that's one purrdy lookin' geetar. I'll match Allens comment about the the Blackwood too, it's an excellent chunk 'o' timber. If this is your second & think you are going to improve, then I can't wait to see how your next one turns out

Thats a fine looking guitar Ricardo, and only your second, gee theres some talent out there. Nice clean lines and neat work, good stuff.

Well done Ricardo. You have done justice to a very nice selection of timber. Very clean, very pretty.
Archie

Great work Ricardo. Classic look and lovely wood, looking forward to the sound clip.

Cheers

That's a handsome guit, Ricardo!

Very Nice guitar Ricardo!
Congratulations

So, Whats your plan for #3 ??

Hi Ricardo, I love your number 2. The timber choices are very elegant and the headstock veneers are a really nice touch. What did you use in the rosette? It looks nice but I can't get a good enough look to work it out. Great work. Will you be starting number 3 soon? This gets really addictive doesn't it.....

Thanks Guys
Dave Number 3 will be a OOO Made from African Blackwood, I am still looking at the timber combinations that i will use, I have already done the back and the soundboard(i did a few together while making # 2)
Mark The rosette is Heringbone and Pau shell
