This is my third guitar build, the first two were definitely learning experiences. I think when I started out I was more concerned with the way they looked more than how they sounded. I joined CBN to get my work out there and see if I could pick the brains of more seasoned builders in hopes to improve my craft from pretty wall art to wall art that you can actually pull down and pick around the fire with friends. 

Submitted for your approval my third build. Thanks!

Nice looking build. I really like the headstock. Keep up the good work.

Nice. Don't forget to number them. You can loose track quick

Thanks to all for the positive feedback. I had a buzzing issue with one of my strings but with a proper tune it cleaned up. My buddy played it with a shot glass slide and says it sounds "trashy in a good way" haha. Can't wait to plug her in and see how she sounds hooked up to the amp.
