Hi all,

I haven't posted anything for ages but hear are som pics of my 1st 000. Its been finished for quite a while (july/Aug i think) but I have been busy playing it.

I am really pleased with the tone and as Dave White correctly prdicted it kicks donkey out of my Taylor BigBaby. In fac its been played against a A?2k Martin and an even more expensive vintage Martin and I am pleased to say to our ears it sounds better than those too -whoohoo

Anyhoo hear are the pics and thanks for looking - I will be starting a new one in the new year - This time with a narrower finger board :)

Thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way - much appreciated

Cheers
Barry

Nice job UK Barry.

OK then you must have posted pictures as link from you site and our web fire wall does not like somthin on your site and is blocking them

Barry,

Nice to see you got there in the end. It looks (and by your admission sounds) great - nice and tasteful!!

There's lot's more "donkey" out there to be kicked so welcome to the addicts club - onwards and upwards

Michael,

It's probably the viagra that Barry rubbed on the soundboard to make it a tone monster (guitar that is) that your firewall is objecting to
