Love the clean lines and simplicity of this one. The angle of the sound holes ties in with the headstock too - it's great !

Thanks for the props, guys!  Can't believe how much fun this was to build.  I took it with me to a music store yesterday to buy a few picks, and the clerk tuned it for me (DAD) and plugged it into an amp so I could see if my electronics worked.  All I can say about that is WOOOOHOOOOOO!!  I love the tone and it cranked!  Got home and started learning a simple walking blues riff.

On another note (pun intended), I found the process very cathartic and therapeutic.  My father died about three years ago, and though he was an amateur, he was a master woodworker most of his life, and I picked up his love of the hobby long ago.  Since he passed, though, I haven't had the motivation to pick up a chisel or saw again until now.  Finding this site and rekindling my love for woodworking has brought back a lot of wonderful memories of our time together.

That's a very nice "clean" looking instrument. Very fine work.
