Looks great, Jeff! If you are using a digital camera, there is a setting for web upload pictures. The pictures are properly sized. No resizing! Alex |

Jeff, what kind of camera is it, what computer and what software are you using? I can't get anything but thumbnails... |

Hi Haans, I'm just using my galaxy note 3. The quality is good on my end but after shrinking it gets pretty weak.ill try again. Thanks for the advise Alex. |

A bit of a flaw in the fit. |

Sorry, don't know what a galaxy note 3 is. I use Photoshop, size them at 12" and they usually come out a good size on the forum. Still think yours could be larger. Keep trying! |

It's just a phone Haans , any critique on the guitar. It's my third and I'd really like to get better at this. |

Thanks Hesh, I'm pleased with it. I love Steve's design on the head stock. Having a great teacher is really a blessing. Jigs ,molds ,tools not a worry. I'm designing a new style for my next build. We'll see how that comes out. |

Jeff, looks very nice! Not my style, but as far as I can see (photos) looks very good. I would probably reduce the depth of the binding a bit, but that is just my opinion. I like a binding that is around 3/16" without purfling and 1/4" including BWB below it. If I were to guess, yours looks like it is 1/4"+ maybe. Otherwise, I'd say you are making a modern guitar the right way, far as I know...some kind of poly or waterbase finish? How did the ebony bend? I'm about to bend a Malaysian Blackwood set... How does it sound? |

Haans yes water base finish, the ebony was a very easy bend with a heating blanket. Thanks for your comments. |
