So I started my first guitar today. It’s a kit build from www.usguitarkits.com.
The kit is like 75% finished already. All you really have to do is shape the soundboard braces, cut the kerfing, glue on the soundboard and assemble the neck. Today I got all the way through glueing the soundboard.
It’s a standard dreadnought guitar. It has a spruce top and sapele back and sides.
Now for some pictures.

So far so good! I’m enjoying the class so far and I really look forward to the knowledge that I get from it.
Next step is to get a garage somehow so I have someplace to do this on my own!
