There is a guy who lives near me who is a luthier and make very nice guitars. I went to his house and paid for lessons and to use the equipment. I am sure it would not have worked out so well without him. I had made an electric guitar before on my own but this was a lot harder.

The guitar has a 2 way truss rod bought from StewMac. The price difference is not that much so I might as well have the 2 way one, however it didn't really need any adjustment.

I French polished the guitar which took for ever. The Luthier that lives near me also French polishes furniture and gave me a lot of advice. The guitar has a bolt on neck so all the polishing was done with the neck off which made it easier, I also had a patch of tape over where the Bride is glued on and the Bridge was glued on after the French polishing.

While making the guitar the camphor smell was very strong which I really liked, I can smell it a bit when putting my nose to the sound hole but it is not that obvious.

Yes I really should make a video of me playing the guitar.
