A blog dedicated to the steps and missteps of building an acoustic guitar. Join me as I hack, splinter, jam, bruise, and bleed my way to building a modified Martin-style 14-fret 000 guitar as a gift for my half-deaf father.
Soundboard Construction

One step closer
Hooray for me, I finished the soundboard! Just sanded the last brace tonight. I know I'm jumping ahead and haven't finished with the rosette yet, but I thought you might like to revel with me in this little triumph. I stopped over at a luthier friend's house last night and got a lot of good pointers and picked up my next back and side set - figured cocobolo! No sap wood, but it looks great. Thanks Trevor!! You can check out his site at http://www.peakeguitars.com/ - he has a Facebook page too but I'm not sure what it is. Alright, it's late and we're heading out to the cabin in West Virginia tomorrow so I'm going to bed. Goodnight.
