It looks i'm hooked in guitar making and i'm starting one more build.It will be mohagony this time.Never did this before.If you asking yourselfs why i didnt finish other 3 builds answer is here.I want tohave several boxes to be done and start to make necks.That is only reason.Do not have customer to wait so yeah got lot time.
Well here is top i bought on auction, dont know if i made good deal.

i bent sides and they arein mold .Butt block is on it place.

Little bit inside of back pick is not so clear but that is what i have

and finaly the Back

Looking good Z, you're going to town. Nice looking top and mahogany also!

Joe

Good for you Z. You are a guitar making machine.

Lefty

Looking good. You'll have to tell us how you like making several at a time. I've never had more than 2 going at once.

looks like progress. The top seems to be nice...lots of medular ray saturation. Back looks good..a but heavy braced for my taste, but clean. The back wood looks very flat sawn...where diid it come from? You don't see a lot of Luthier flat sawn mahogany these days...no need for it yet really.

Nice looking work, Z! What are your thicknesses of the top, back and sides? I would agree with Brian about the heavy bracing...I was also thinking that those sides look kinda thick...it could be a camera perspective thing.

Thank you guys for comments.The back bracings are 5/16thick.Back wood is veryinteresting.I didnt take pictre but i should.It was 15"wide mahagoni and i took back and side from same wood.Well it look flat or "half"
flat but sides are quartered.Sides are 3/32 thick yes they look heavy on pick.
It is ok to build several at same time they areall the same but different material.

I know we love pictures so here is couple of them of my progress.Actualy it is break time until glue is dry, and i'll continue afternoon probably on top bracing.
Thanks to Chris on nice tutorial how to make circle cuting jig made one similar to his but it is made of Corian.I like much, and lot recomendation to everybody.







That is it for now thanks for looking and comments
