This was my fist attempt at a guitar from scratch. Body is solid alder with a carved top finished with many coats of wipe-on poly. Neck is hard maple, carved with an asymetrical back and finished with a few coats of tongue oil.

showing progress for this guitar (and some digression.) That's a great site for similar threads. From TDPRI you can search a user named "Guitarnut" with a thread titled "wolfgang build" - that inspired me to start.
I'm building #2 - http://www.tdpri.com/forum/other-guitars-other-instruments/360160-wolfgang-build-take-2-a.html.
I'd be happy to help or follow along and answer questions if I can. Please don't hesitate to message. Thanks for looking.

Thanks,

Brian
