After buiding two workbenches, this classical guitar is my first real attempt at fine woodworking. It took me approx. 350 hours on 20 months overall, since I had almost no tool at the beginning. This was so enjoyable that two new instruments are in preparation...

Top: German Spruce

Back & Sides: Indian Rosewood

Neck: Spanish Cedar

Fingerboard & Bridge: Ebony

Inlays: Colored Maple

Finish: French Polish


Design or Plan used: My own design

How awsome it will be the first time someone compliments your guitar's looks or sound and you will be able to respond "Thanks, I made it myself"
Keep strumming or makinging sawdust.
