My Luthier blog, first build.
Hola friends! This feels a little like spam as I'm not so active on here these days but please check out my blog.
I'm currently on day four of Stephen Hill's Luther course in La Herradura, Spain. It's awesome I'm keeping a little written record via this blog and thought some may find it interesting.

You lucky chap!! What a great experience. I look forward to seeing some more photos, especially how the rosette progresses because that's a complete mystery to me.

I met a guy who did that course, his guitar came out great. It was easy to play, great sound and looked very cool. He used some interesting African woods.

haha your second post made me laugh after reading your first day post. Taking pictures, uploading and then writing about them can be very time consuming and the last thing I want to do everyday for 4 weeks!
Good Luck with the build and send my best to Stephen and family and also Pablo! you are in good hands!
