I strung this one up yesterday. It's number 7. I built it for a friend and I'm dropping it off to her in about an hour.

Top: Engelman Spruce
Back, Sides & Neck: Honduran Mahogany
Fingerboard: Madagascar Ebony
Headplate & Bridge: Macassar Ebony
Bindings, Heel Cap & End Graft: Curly Maple

Still some cosmetic flaws but it sounds pretty good. Not as much bass as I'd hoped I think because I made the sound hole a bit too big by mistake. Hopefully, the next one will be better.

Here's a few pictures. Sorry about the quality. I'm a lousy photographer.

Thanks for looking!

Matt

Thanks, Charlie. Here's a picture of my friend with her new guitar. She's pretty happy with it.
