Thought I might post a final picture of the guitar as there is no picture of the finished back. I put a piece of cherry on the back of the headstock as I thinned the headstock thinking I was going to use a shorter peg tuners.

OK you guys got me up to it. This was not my first build with construction grade lumber. My first guitar had a fir neck, pine back and sides and cedar cut from a fence board. Sound pretty good although it is a steel string. The first time I used spruce for a neck was for an experiment building with torrified wood and building with the Spanish foot style.

It is a parlor size and has a narrower radiused fretboard and still remains my favorite to just pick up as it is also a lightweight but not as light as this thread's guitar. But the larger one does not have the sonic compromises of the little one.
Always on the lookout for a good piece of softwood to build with I came across this 2" x 4" that I resawed half of it.

Laminated the pieces together for the top back and sides, cut the linings from the rest and stacked and scarfed together a neck.

Walnut binding and jatoba bridge and fretboard.

A Martin 00 sized guitar although I went with 25.5" scale length.

This will be an interesting one to string up, I have made a few softwood smaller guitar but never a full sized steel string. As you can tell, I have too many projects on the go.
