Nice looking guitar John. It looks better from a distance than close up, but that's rock 'n' roll, right? Seriously, sometimes the process for building a guitar (and frankly repairing, sometimes) was that each step was in part trying to figure out how to fix the f-ups from the previous step. But the closer you are to a finished instrument, the more obvious the f-ups are. That said, I really did enjoy playing that guitar for the 9 months or so between completion and giving it to Matthew. I aimed for a 50's Gibson profile on the neck (measured from my 1955 CF-100E). The body is ever so slightly different from a Gibson shape - I based it off a Hamer Special I had. If I were to try building guitars again I would definitely outsource parts of the process - inlay and finishing, for example, slotting the fingerboard.
