mrMagenta, Thanks! I got really lucky. I don't think I ever would have tried doing this on my kitchen table with a swiss army knife like some guys do. For one thing I don't have a kitchen table [:D] And it would just be frustrating without a great collection of tools. Given the opportunity though it's much easier to build guitars than be a pro player...the market is there especially if you're working for an established luthier. Hey Anthony, Thanks, I'm gonna keep playing and performing for sure, maybe when I'm 60 I'll be good enough to go pro [;)] I was definitely going for a Moorish or Arabic design there. Can't really say how much time I've put into this....I've been working on it for about 5 or 6 weeks but a lot of that time was fixing mistakes, jig-making, etc. It should be playing "in the white" without finish by the end of next week! Super exciting. I'll definitely post more pics.
