I have been building acoustic guitars for longer than i care to remember but here is my first abg from a plan by Mark Stanley.
Wrc top and bubinga b&s - now i just have to learn how to play...
 
Uh oh, here we go... In just a bit several people are going to tell you that in order to post here you've got to show progress shots, not just finished products. Also, if you're a pro builder, you'll have to read through the CUP at the top of this subforum.

But I am excited to see an acoustic build here. From casual observation I'd say yours looks great. I like how classic and simple it seems, though I can see a bit of detail and embellishment here and there. I'm still planning my foray into luthery, beginning with electric basses, but if I get the 'bug' I'd love to try tackling acoustic instruments eventually.
