She may be a beauty one day...


I bet that's what my parents said when I was a skinny girl with a straight body! So, this is where we are today. A full body! The top and back are mahogany and the sides are koa. There's still a lot to do, but it's exciting because now it LOOKS like something. I'm waiting for some binding to get here and debating decorating  the top edge..it would be good practice, though! What's left to do? AHHmmm..making the fretboard and installing the frets then gluing it onto the neck. Finish shaping the neck and securing it onto the body. Then it's all cleanup..filling, sanding, polishing...and doing the nut and the bridge, then stringing her up. I think I can do this!
