[QUOTE="K-Man, post: 899844, member: 531"] Thanks for the kind words everyone - much appreciated. At the same time that I've been learning how to make the guitar, I've been learning how to use the tools utilized. So, in some respects, it's been slowing the progress just slightly. Last night I got the fret wire on, smoothed the edges, and the bridge set in place temporarily. Then spent the rest of the class working on getting the neck set properly. Looks like I'll have just a small amount of work left there in the next class. Then I should be finishing up the shaping of the neck, putting the tuners on, and be able to string her up for a test run. I'll then inlay the maker's mark, and do the final sanding. Then we'll shoot the finish. I'm still bouncing around in that regard - not quite sure how much stain/shade of color to put on. I've seen some awesome finishes and have liked nearly every one of them. I saw a guitar last night that was all mahogany, and it was just amazing. The figure in the wood reminded me a lot of Tiger Myrtle. There's just too many choices for finish. [/QUOTE]
