Looks great, Jeff! If you are using a digital camera, there is a setting for web upload pictures. The pictures are properly sized. No resizing!

Jeff, what kind of camera is it, what computer and what software are you using?

Hi Haans, I'm just using my galaxy note 3. The quality is good on my end but after shrinking it gets pretty weak.ill try again. Thanks for the advise Alex.

A bit of a flaw in the fit.

Sorry, don't know what a galaxy note 3 is.
I use Photoshop, size them at 12" and they usually come out a good size on the forum. Still think yours could be larger.
Keep trying!

It's just a phone Haans , any critique on the guitar. It's my third and I'd really like to get better at this.

Thanks Hesh, I'm pleased with it. I love Steve's design on the head stock. Having a great teacher is really a blessing. Jigs ,molds ,tools not a worry.
I'm designing a new style for my next build. We'll see how that comes out.

Jeff, looks very nice! Not my style, but as far as I can see (photos) looks very good.
I would probably reduce the depth of the binding a bit, but that is just my opinion. I like a binding that is around 3/16" without purfling and 1/4" including BWB below it. If I were to guess, yours looks like it is 1/4"+ maybe.
Otherwise, I'd say you are making a modern guitar the right way, far as I know...some kind of poly or waterbase finish?
How did the ebony bend? I'm about to bend a Malaysian Blackwood set...

How does it sound?

Haans yes water base finish, the ebony was a very easy bend with a heating blanket. Thanks for your comments.
