Almost A Guitar Kit
Posted: Sat Nov 09, 2013 12:37 pm
I bought this from a local guy who started it. He got into a problem with the neck block and gave up. It sat under his bed for almost 10 years. I've had it about a year and have decided that I'm not going to finish it. Top is some kind of spruce that has aged to nice gold color. The back and sides are nice fine grained mahogany.
Since the sides have not been bent yet, it could be a dreadnaught, a 000, a 00, or maybe even a 14 fret parlor guitar. As you can see, the top and back have been joined and braced. The rosette has been inlaid and the sound hole is cut out. The top bracing has been tapered but not scalloped. The back bracing needs shaping. The guy did pretty good work, in my opinion.
Comes with a Martin style neck and fretted & inlaid fingerboard, peg head overlay, and kerfing.
Does not include neck & tail blocks, purfling, binding, nut, bridge, and tuners. The builder was in the process of packing and moving when I bought the kit. He couldn't find the small stuff.
$200 includes shipping
