Beautiful guitar. Well done. Especially for your first guitar, it's exceptional even for a 50th guitar.

Beautiful guitar, yes!
What does it sound like, please?
Or, is it meant for the museum?

It is really really well-done! Congratulations!
I won't show this to my wife, since she would see how much better your work is compare to mine

Thank you! I look at it and struggle to reconcile it with the pile of wood it started from. I can't believe I actually made it.

Thank you - I play at home for my own amusement (I'm not a great player). I keep meaning to try and record some samples, but in the meantime:

It is very loud for its size and very resonant - it 'rings' very well - and seems (to me) to have a well balanced tone and plays nicely in tune... But words don't really work for this!

Watch (listen to) this space.

And thanks again.

Thank you so much for your answer. Neither me, not a great player. I could not have built such a guitar. Can't but help wonder how much it can be worth?
I realize it comes to the genuine knowledge of how to use more advanced tools and a view of the result of your work. Thank you for taking the time to post here.
