Building a travel guitar

I have routed the body and, using a fostner bit, empty the body as much as I can.




A mock up of the guitar. The fingerboard it's not tapered yet.



And a horrible mistake ...



But there is nothing that a good glue can't fix

Baby guitar

I have started a new build.

A baby or small or travel guitar, who cares? . The really important part is that everything has to be smaller, and lightweighted.

This is my particular version of a travel guitar, in this case this is a birthday present for a five years old child. It's a guitar of 20" scale length, maybe too big for a little child ...but they grow too fast!!!

Now the funny stuff, pics:

Laminated neck, brazilian cedar and padouck



Sapelly body



Maple top



More to come ...
