It's a small jumbo out of east indian rosewood and an adirondack top, sapele neck, ebony fretboard and bridge,maple binding.
I started this one a year ago but something about having three kids under four years old made it a slow process.

Congrats Brandon! Everything looks very nice together, and your headstock design really catches my eye! Is this from plans, or your own design? Alex |

Thanks Alex! I didn't use any plans, just some basic dimensions from the internet for the width of the upper and lower bout. I was going for something kinda modern but not too weird for the headstock, I'm glad it caught your eye! |

Nicely done! Also like the headstock, and the bridge design as well.. 3 kids under 4? I am surprised you have time to shave, much less build a first guitar.  Congrats! |

Congratulations, Brandon. It is great to see an outcome that is so nice on a first guitar. Man, my first is sooooo bad! I'm sure your mind has raced ahead to numbers 5, 8 and 12 by now. I will be astonished if you don't don't come right back and post another and another and another.....etc. |

Wow! thanks for all the support and positive comments. I've stressed about the outcome of this build since I started and lurking on this forum has been a huge help! It's really awesome to have a group of friendly people who share so much knowledge with newbs like me. |

Lol I can't lie. ![[uncle]](./images/smilies/surrenderflagqv6.gif "Uncle") I've got enough sets for another 4 or 5 stickered in the shop already. When else are you going to use all the ideas you wish you had done on the last build? |
