against the rules?

i know this is Talkbass, but i figured since this is luthiers corner it would be ok to post these. I got talked into building a guitar for my mom's friend and this is what i have so far...

p.s.

i got this great quilt top from our friend todd levy of exoticwoodbrokers.com
thanks todd!!!

that looks very good...

it looks like the dolphin is jumping out the water-y quilt top

i like the idea of soundholes being in a different shape than the usual F hole...very cool idea

Pretty cool guitar, very nice quilt. Have you dabbled in building basses at all?

 

[Kibuddy]

Love the shape, and that's an awesome top!

frankly dolphin-obsession annoys the heck out of me, but your design for that is fantastic! I love the layout, and the curve of the dolphin following the body outline is just wonderful.
kudos!

(and that wood ain't half bad either. )

that top... .

I am personally fed up with tuna-obsession myself, so the dolphin works for me. And a very nice top too.

I also like the overall body shape, except the lower horn is a bit too minimalist for my tastes.

i usually only build basses, but this is a favor to my mom's friend (hence, the dolphin)
