Finished Guitar

Just in time for Christmas Eve delivery, here is the finished article!  We did our best with the photos under some extremely dark clouds.  Minutes after we took these the Heavens opened, but my wife couldn't let it go without taking some shots.

Not long 'til Christmas...

...and the guitar I'm making is nearly finished.  Here are some more shots of its progress:

In the photo above, the bent sides are being held in place by a jig I designed whilst I peg on the kerfing.

Below is the roughed-out neck, fret board and truss rod.

Above: the back and top showing the bracing patterns.

Below: glueing down the top using the jig and elastic.

Above: ready to add the back.
