I thought I'd give it a quick look..... One hour later...... (so much for finishing the new song tonight)

Beautiful work by a talented craftsman. Thanks for the fascinating link. Tom

This is the most fascinating and educational thread I have read up to now on making a guitar; Mark really is good at discussing the finer aspects of what he does, like the fret ends, and his bracing techniques. Wow! :D I think I'll ask him how much he would want for a nice small 0 size 12 string guitar.

Excellent photos and great tools and jigs! I don't care for wood like that, but that doesn't detract from a first-class job of it. I like the odd bracing schemes and the woodburned logo. The peghead on the classical is pretty cool, too. 8)

This is cool, the sound of the guitar while watching it get built:
