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

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
