printer2 -> RE: 1/2 size fun build (Sep. 22 2015 2:15:22)

Just made it for myself, as can be seen, no rosette, binding, nothing that adds to the time to build. From start to finish it was three weeks, two to make and one to finish. Since it was my first nylon I spent some time learning how to make it. Probably do one in two weeks total now. I need to make one with light weight tuners (Hey, maybe some pegs!) as they seem to be the part of the guitar with any mass. And if the Pine body is a discouragement I guess the Spruce neck would seal the deal. No, not a sellable guitar. But a pleasure to park in your lap and tickle the strings. Now that I know what one is like I think I need to make three more, one for my brother, my nephew, and my niece's husband. I may not be able to sell them, but they would make a nice Christmas present. Forgot to mention, top and back are torrified, part of the reason for building it, to see what the properties of the wood are after being baked. Sure made the wood look prettier.
