sweyne1 can't think why

How's your guitar going - still waiting for some audio clips... :thumbup:

I know Francis. I did have a go fairly soon after I picked the guitar up but there was some uploading problem which I can't even remember now.

I will have another go.

These are the last photos before handover later this month (more final photos then). Next step taper the bridge pin holes, put some strings on - bit of tinkering...

Thanks Francis
Spent the last two hours playing the new parlor guitar,sore wrists (you know the story about my wrists) and sore finger ends .

Wonderfull sound from something so little (not me) the parlor has a nice little pair of lungs.
Had an hour on it in DADGAD Tuning it sounds amazing .
Now the debate keep in dadgad tuning or standard tuning ?

And thanks guys for the comments .
