A couple of weeks ago somebody brought up the question about building a guitar. I was starting one at the time and I thought I would post some pictures of my project to let anybody that wanted to make one know that if I can make one they could too. The top is Cedar. The back and sides are Mrytlewood. The neck will be maple and walnut. It is for my neighbor. He picked out the woods.
I have about 75hrs into it. These are a few of the highlights.
The walnut and maple rosette

Glueing up the back
gluing the front
gluing the kerfing to the sides
the soundboard glued to the sides
all glued up and ready for the trim
a shot of the back after glue up
I have a ton more pictuers but don't want to bore everyone
This is the the most challenging project to date but is going surprisingly well. It has been been fun and relaxing.
