Hi
Thanks again for all your help. I have finished 2 guitars!!! #2 and #3
The first is a classical guitar. IR Backs and Sides. German Spruce Top.

useruploads/azimmer1/2005-10-22_201331_Classical2.jpg">useru ploads/azimmer1/2005-10-22_201454_clasical3.jpg">useruploads /azimmer1/2005-10-22_201556_class4.jpg">

The 2nd is a 000 12 fret, IR Back and Sides/Engleman Spruce top.
red/white/and blue purfling/MOP star fret markers. KOA and Red white
and blue rosette. This is a surprise gift for my
brother in law in Austin TX. Therefore the American Twist. He doesn't
even know that I have begun building guitar at all!!!
Andy

Good work Andy. I would like to see a close up of that slothead on the 000 12fret. Looks like a pearl Dog. The peghead has a very nice shape, but we need bigger pics!

Yes I cut the dog out of pearl. We have 2 dogs and my wife thought I should
call my guitars. Lazy Dog Guitars.
The label on all 3 of my guitars reflects that and is from a painting my wife
did. She is a watercolor artist.

This is a bit scary. By showing my second and third guitars, I have become a
SENIOR MEMBER on the OLF....NO WAY.
I guess I just ask too many questions so I went over the 100 mark.

Yeah, well, look directly above you and see how many posts I've made. I just closed the box on my first one today and have my binding in the bender.

Or directly below you.

Those are really nice looking guitars. Awesome.

Can I make a suggestion about the pictures. Try not to use flash, but instead use sunlight. It will improve them a lot more.
