Guitar Nerds Anonymous

So after about three years (I've forgotten exactly when I started...) of weekly evening classes at London Met I've finished my guitar - I've not had loads of time to play with it but it sounds pretty good.

It's built from plans for a Martin 00 with a spruce soundboard, rosewood back / sides / head, mahogany / ebony neck, maple binding, the odd little piece of walnut for decoration and inlaid with Paua shell dots and around the soundhole.

The actions still a little high, I'll hopefully be getting that lowered with my tutor (Godefroy - http://www.mjsguitars.net/ - who's both a lovely guy and incredibly generous with his time and sharing of his knowledge) over the next few weeks.

Really crappy phone pictures, I might take some more some other time and update this post. Hopefully these will embed...

Amazing.
