I've been working on my first guitar for a couple of years (start & stop), and finally hammered in the frets.
I feel pretty good at this stage, and feel that I have to show it off. It has an Ovangkol back, Maple sides, and a Cedar top. Walnut neck, and binding.
Thanks for looking.

Ray

I will finish carve the neck after leveling, crowning and dressing the frets.

Ray, it's really beautiful. You should feel really proud. That's a terrific piece of work.
