Acoustic Guitar Construction

The rim is ready.

Fretting the board before glueing to the neck

I learned a few things from Robbie O'Brien's French Polishing videos...

Out in the wild...



And here is an image from the evening I finally presented, literally, the finished Ziricote 00-12 to its final owner.

This was at a design retreat we do annually. I spent some time speaking about and demonstrating tap tones of tonewoods, their characteristics and how they can be combined for different tonal effect before suggesting that its easier to understand in a completed instrument. I then presented the finished guitar and invited a number of friends from the audience to demo it for the group.

She's a beauty!

gorgeous guitar! very nice photography as well. Thanks for posting.

Extremely good looking Daniel!, beautiful ziricote.
Where did you get the fretboard inlay? I am looking for this exact type of inlay now.
