Official Luthiers Forum!

I've just had a visit from Toby for whom I made an all Cuban Mahogany parlour guitar nearly 3 years ago. It was based on an early 1900's all mahogany guitar I have and it was fun to play the 2 together and compare. It sounds good but needs a few more years in smoked filled bar-rooms to match the growl of the original. Here's a pic of the two - Happy Christmas everyone:
