Well, I finally finished my #3 (1st OM) Everything went really well up until the Setup and Spraying the Finish. I had to respray the neck about 3 times because I kept sanding through the black, but finally got it. Also the setup eventually went really well and it plays great and sounds really well. It's my first OM. The previous 2 were Dreadnoughts, but I really like this OM sound and Body size/shape. Figured Mahogany Back & Sides (From Previous Swap Meet) Bearclaw spruce Top Mahogany Neck Ebony Bindings, Bridge, Bridge Pins, Fingerboard & Woolson style Bound Soundhole 25.4 Scale Grover Mini locking tuners KTM9 Waterbase Finish Thanks for looking. |

Thanks for all the kind replies. I'm still not "there" yet, but getting closer. I have to say that I learned more on this guitar than on the previous two and things really started making a lot more sense this time around. Fit & Finish are still not 100%, but definitely getting better. This was my first Spray job so that was a challenge as well. For the neck I had slightly off color wings on the headstock so I decided to spray the back of the headstock & neck black and just fade it into the regular wood color to blend it in. #4 is already on its way. Actually hoping to close up the box on it this coming week. It will be an OM again. #4 will be for my girlfriend and per her request, it will be a green guitar. Not really looking forward to that part of it. This is the only other close(er) shot that I have at the time so I'll post it. |

Nice Blain! Looks great. Bound sound holes are cool. Funny, I just strung up my 3rd guitar today. Guess what it is. An OM also and I like it. I like it a lot. Cheers, Danny |
