Default NGD - 000-18 style 12 fret
Finally playable today after months of sitting nearly finished because my garage shop was too hot/humid.
Stewmac kit.
12 fret long scale
Alkyd varnish brushed finish.
Very pleased with the tone & volume.
It’s a comfortable little guitar.

Wow very nice! If I had a work space I’d try one of these. The finish looks good!

Very nice. Must be rewarding. You clearly have more patience and skill than me.

It did add some extra hours for sure. It was especially tricky trying to keep the brushed finish flat in that area.

Looks sweet. 12-fret 000-18 -- makes me want to give it a strum.

My current favorite body style.
Something special about 12 fret long scale 000's.
I have a Martin 000-28VS, which inspired me to build this one.
The Martin has a 1-13/16 nut width. Which is the only thing that I would have changed on that guitar, had I ordered it custom.
I built this one with a 1-3/4.
Which is an easier adjustment when switching from my other 1-11/16ths guitars.
