My First Build

[Jens]

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a guitar since February and it's going pretty well. Nice and slowly though, because I've had tons of stuff to do so this has just been my little project when I've been bored. Oh and it's been hard geting all the parts on a student economy so I bought a lot of stuff second hand when I found something with the right price. It's a trial and error project...the first but not the last guitar project.

I'm currently sanding it and I'm going to rout out all the cavities in a week or two when the parts I ordered from StewMac arrives. Luckilly a local guitarbuilder is going to help me.

This photo is kind of outdated and I have sanded a lot on it since I took it...

i like the white one, but id make the hanzi/kanji (if thats what they are) straighter. and by the way, what do they say?

Yeh I like the white one too..

Mabye because the snowcloud looks a bit too flat and the outer line makes a nice, more outstanding binding for the white one.

I think you should give the binding a thought

Very cool body. You should try changing the headstock design though, to something that more resembles the form of the body.
