Beautiful! The back/sides are just gorgeous. I really like how the binding looks too. Actually everything about it makes it a work of art. Fantastic craftsmanship John.

Thanks guys

Well I worked to get a good recording, I was hampered by the fact that I can not play very well. I got the recording to sound OK but Youtube compresses it. At some point I will get a really player and post a less compressed version on sound cloud or have a download from my web site.

But for what it is worth here is my guitar




You can also hear my classical instructor, but it was recorded on my phone ... He really like the guitar and played it my entire lesson. It was fun to hear what it could really sound like.

As far as I can hear, it is nicely clear and balanced. You did a great job. And a nice log. Congrats and thanks

Thanks for sharing your journey -- Wonderful craftsmanship!

Nice balance and separation -- hard to tell with YouTube vids, to my ear seems to have a bit of the old timey Gibson sound characteristics.
