Maxine, finally done

The guitar is finally finished after I put on a second set of strings, I broke the first E string the first time. I am really glad I took this course. I not only learned how to build an acoustic guitar, but also how to rely mostly on hand tools. Really discovered how much of a job a chisel is and I can’t wait for my next wood project. The only thing I think I could have done a better job is the frets. I may go back and put in larger gauge frets later on. I’ve name her Maxine. Here are a few photos of the finished product.

    Nice! What are your long-term plans for it? Are you going to carry it with you for the rest of your trip?

    I think the inlaid wood is really cool!
