The inlay on the head is Ablam. the fret markers are abalone shell that I milled from a yardsale.the finish is nitrocellulose lacquer. This is my first acoustic guitar build.

Looks nice! I would love to build my own guitar. Can you suggest reputable sources of information on that subject? I think having a guitar customized to you would be awesome.
Thanks for sharing.
Well done.

Boy that Guitar looks like its ready to be played. I am also building an OM-000 but it is a kit somewhat
from LMI Guitars and I’m ready to close up the “Box” Kit is Adirondack (Red) spruce and back and sides
is Honduran Rosewood. It’s my first and am concerned that top may be to thick but was thickness sanded by
LMI. My first attempt at tap tuning and Voiceing. Sound is really important to me and don’t wish to fail but learning is what the first one is all about I suppose.
Anyway, good luck on your second build.

Great job Mark! I had a 67 d18 that had a scallop job don on the top braces and what a difference it made. They say to let the guitar season for 5 yrs and then see what it needs for sound enhancement. Someday I may have the nerve to build an acoustic guitar. I love to play and have some fine axes so to play a git that one has made would be all that more special. Thanks for showing!
