I finished up the Oregon myrtlewood jumbo guitar last night. It turned out good. Sitka top, maple neck, and persimmon fingerboard and bridge.

Here is a video of what it sounds like.

I strung up the Indian Rosewood guitar tonight. Number 038 is about wrapped up. I still need to install the strap button, the pickup, and a pick guard if the customer wants one. That will only be about an hour of work. Meanwhile, I have it on the Tonerite device to continuously vibrate the strings to accelerate the settling in. I’ll tweak the setup, if needed, in about a week and then arrange to get it to its owner.

Here is a short video of what it sounds like. I think it turned out good.

First play of Indian rosewood - number 038.

I’ve gotten this batch of seven guitars all completed except for the final sanding and prep for the finish. They will get wrapped up in the next couple months.
