Man she sounds nice, I love that bottom end growl...

It’s funny, I started building guitars for various reasons one of which was I couldn’t find the guitar I wanted, mostly because I didn’t know where to look. If I had come across a guitar of this caliber I might never had started building. A blessing and a curse ;)

I’ve joked with myself I should buy a couple say one of Ethans one of Andy’s a Faulk..., can’t have too many guitars, just so I have a baseline, or rather a goal in my own guitar building journey...

Well done Ethan.

Really nice! Did you also build the display case behind?

Thanks for your comments, Tom, HR, and Ricardo.
Yes, I built the display case too, Ricardo. (Ignore the boxed case on top--it was an Ebay rip-off. Don't get one.)

Beautiful guitar Maestro! Thanks for sharing as always.

Also love your case. I built a basic one with some maple I had lying around. Pretty minimalist. need to get rid of the Blum cabinet hinges. Gonna need a bigger tone anyway to hold more guitars.

Edit: sorry for the sideways pic. Can’t get it straight.

RE: New Blanca (in reply to JasonM)

Thanks, Jason, and your cabinet looks nice. It does seem like those hinges could be dangerous when moving the guitar in and out of such a small space.
