Kills my first build. sounds great. my big mistake  I made on my first was I didnt think of the intonation of the instrument.....and a few other bonehead moves. I really like the sound holes

I pretty much would have said everything these guys said (dude, that guitar is better than my first... ah, quiet a few!).

As far as playing goes, it's good you're having fun learning. That's the key... there will always be more learning to do, but as long as you're having fun then it's all good. Just keep at it, you're already on the path, man!

You, know, I'm seeing a lot of new meat on here that keep claiming that "this or that is my first build, so please take it easy on me" and then they show off something that blows my first guitar right the hell out of the water. In fact, looking at the action you achieved on this one, I think it's safe to say that I had to build quite a few guitars before I got them to this level here.

Everyone take note. The new guys are raising the bar on us. They all just keep getting better and better.

NIce build! Beats the heck outta my first. Classic sound too. Keep at it....as a newbie...you can only get better each time you pick that thing up and/or build the next one. WARNING: It addictive.....
