Well, that looks a bit gorgeous, Adrian! Is it a commission? or did you just fancy building it?
Are you going to post a soundclip or two? ("No" is an unacceptable answer, by the way)

Amazing work, Adrian  To think that stunning guitar came from that ugly table top!  |

Thanks for the kind comments. The guitar is currently in the post on the way to it's owner in Sweden so no sound clips I'm afraid. Martin, I wouldn't have called the table top ugly. I get very excited about such things.

OK, the only thing for it then is for you to contact the new owner and suggest they might like to sign up here, then we can pester them into recording it for us!  I liked your comment about the table top - it's lovely to be be able to see things as they could be rather than as they are now. Not just in guitar making either. I'm sure the new owner will be delighted! keith |

That's a lovely looking guitar Adrian I always fancied a guitar made out of this bedroom fire surround which is the original from 1925.....  .....but Mrs PCT won't let me  Phil |

Looks good enough to eat off... beautiful work. How does the all-mahogany choice affect the sound of the guitar?
All the best, marcus

Perhaps the chap in Sweden is Martin Tallestrom who is on you tube and is a cracking guitarist
Kicks in at 102 for those that haven't seen it before Brill nearly as good as Keef
