So far I made only a Cejilla , but I'm a very technical guy , and I always liked to get into the smallest details of every thing I use, fit it to my needs and make it unique , and so it is with guitars. Though i guess it is many players' dream to make their own guitars :) kominak , out of curiosity , how long it took you to make her? and if you don't mind , how good your woodwork skills are? (I mean , do you have any background in wood/guitar making) The thing to where my questions lead is: how hard is it to make a flamenco guitar (that will sound good of course) in "homemade conditions"? I know that my question sound a bit silly , I'm well aware to the fact that you can't turn into a luthier out of a sudden , its just an issue I'm very interested in :)

(I mean , do you have any background in wood/guitar making) It took about a year from start to finish, but I spent one year prior to that collecting every information I could - reading books, internet forums, ... I didn't have any woodworking skills when I started - I used to do some woodcarving with my grandpa as a kid, but that was 20 years ago :) One thing that helped me a lot was a local guitar making course - it was only 7 days and of course nobody finished his guitar, but many things were explained, prepared and a lot easier to finish at home. Then I just followed the plan and hoped for the best :)
