First build. Thanks!

I joined earlier this Fall and posed a few questions. I wanted to thank those that responded and helped with my first guitar. Figured if I was going to make one, I would make two. One is a gift to my instructor.

These are the two you built?

If so, we need more pictures!

Yes, I built these two based on a Gibson J-100 plan. I have attached some more finished pictures.  I have some of the various stages of the build process if interested. Check out audio of my friend playing one.

Yes we are interested - it's what this site is all about

Beautiful work and nice to see you entered them in GOTM - good luck

A few construction pictures:  rib bending, back bracing, rib construction, top bracing and attaching to ribs, hand carved neck and pour filling before finish.

Planning my first build.  Your accomplishment is both inspirational and reassuring!
