Well, here are some pics. The first is Sitka on Walnut w/ bloodwood binding, FB, and bridge. The second (which is just about ready for finish) is Engelmann on Sapele w/black plastic binding, wenge rosette and headplate and Ebony FB and bridge. Finish on the first was KTM-9 water based and I am planning on doing a French Polish on the 2nd. I was reluctant to post these pics after seeing some of the amazing work done by other first timers, but oh well. There is an abundance of cosmetic flaws but I have been having a blast making them! -Eric First Build http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericlyndse ... 597341100/ Second Build (in progress) http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericlyndse ... 472612147/ |

Nice work. Curious to know why the different tone bar spacing on #2 |

thanks! The first one was built loosely from Cumpiano's book. For the second, I used the L-00 plan from the following site. http://www.grellier.fr/plans.php?lang=en So, to answer your question, I have no idea why the tonebars are spaced this way! haha. I was just following the plan. Do you think it will adversely affect the sound? |

Congrats Eric on your first - she looks great! ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up") Your second is coming along nicely too. L-OOs are a favorite of mine and I never miss out on an opportunity to check out the insides of an original L-OO or some of the other L-OO shaped guitars that Gibson made under private label. Your tone bars look fine IMHO too. Congrats and keep up the great work! |

Thanks Hesh! That means a lot coming from you. I too love L-00's. I was much more brave when carving the braces and thickening the plates on this one (the first one, I erred on the side of structural integrity) and am looking forward to seeing how it sounds! -Eric |
