Hola Samwise, y todo... Since it was my first guitar, I have no idea of whys and hows [X(]...It just is what it is, you know? I was talking to a German friend who played the guitar, who is sponsored by Robert Ruck, and he and I laughed together when I said that if I did this again, #2 and 3 would probably come out WORSE than #1, then #4 would be better.... Who knows?![&:] I built completely from 'lumber' from LMII and others. Kevin Murray has a nice selection of woods, too, for those considering: http://www.bluemtnacoustics.com/ So no, no kit. However, the luthier where I built my guitar, built his very first guitar from LMII's 'kit'. It's probably the 'driest' and most 'Spanish' sounding of his guitars.....Monterey Cypress, Engelmann top. For the money, there's no way to beat it. And other than 'macheeen toooners', I might try one sometime. So it looks like I'm going to build again, too. Getting set up. A few people have been asking, so I think I'm going to build 2 more at once to make sure I have to process down in my mind, take more pics, keep a journal as I work with notes, sketches, etc... So I can look back to each step, compare, double check... Did you keep a workbook/notebook?? You finishing yours is getting me fired up!! [8D]
