I began this build in late May, and finally finished it a few days ago. I'm very happy with how it turned out. It feels and sounds great.

Hope you guys like it!

cool!

how did you build the body? Maybe a stupid question but I wanna start buidling some bodies within a few months and a thinline one would also be cool to build. tia!

Wow...great job! I love it.

The cut of the grain is cool. It looks flat saw on the outside then quatersawn on the inner region

Chris,
Read the build challenge threads. That's how i learned everything. I was completely clueless just like you, so i spent a few weeks just reading people's threads when i had free time.

fretman,
Thanks!

Bentley,
I have no idea what the difference between those two are. I just know the grain on quartersawn wood is generally very straight, right? If ya want you should explain.

Nice one!

Bentley · July 28th, 2012, 03:03 AM

Flatsawn is the spaced out grain, quartersawn is closer together. This is how they are cut

bender66 · July 28th, 2012, 04:05 AM

Stained?

Great color. What did you use?

Cool, thanks. Makes a lot more sense now.

Yes it was stained. I was actually going for a look like this guitar that someone else here made, but it was a lot harder than it looked.
And I just used a stain that I found in the basement.

It's a nice stain, none the less.
