Thanks everybody! I think she sounds great, even though i just strung her up. She has a really even string-to-string balance and i really like the warmness the tone has without losing it´s bite. i'm having a really hard time explaning tone in english so i guess i'll have to record a soundclip for you guys I'm not a great guitar-player but i'll do the best i can Just a little story about tone. My friend and old arts and design teacher who has been building and repairing instruments since he was a teenager learned me everything a know about selecting wood for my guitars. But a month ago he really gave me a word that i can use to make people understand without even having e piece of wood there to show them. He told me it should sound like "whispering cleaningladies" when you touch it. I don´t know about the cleaningladies where you guys live but the explanation certainly fits like a glove here in Sweden. So thats a big part of my wood-selecting process now About the pickguard, it´s a slabsawn brazilian pickguard i made from some small offcuts i got when i sawed out a couple of fingerboard blanks.

The textured background is the wallpaper in my 26 square meter (small) student apartment, and she is standing in my bed posing

I like it! The high waist looks great, and probably opens up the lower bout. Great idea.
