    Default Blackwood & Huon Guitar

    That is magical, this I like I have been selling a lot of Huon pine the past year for guitar bodys both electric & acoustic plus for neck laminates for contrast in colour.

    That is outstanding!.....
    And my head I'd be a scratchin'
    While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
    If I only had a brain.

    Thanks for the kind words guys. I built this one for myself, it's never going to be sold. I'd rather part it out than sell it!

    Cheers

    Thankyou. I plan to try spending a bit more time over on this forum, need some "off time" from building guitars and im hoping to get some ideas for other projects. Not really sure what I want to build, I just know I want it to be classy and have a purpose. With all that said I'll probably just build more guitars!

    Lol I know what u mean. Sometimes I need a break from guitar work. Something that doesn't require as much planning and thinking. I bought a lathe and got into pen turning. It's good fun and relaxing
