My story

I have always loved music and a few years ago I took it to the next level by starting to play guitar.
As I have learned to play the guitar, I’ve found it to be my favorite instrument. As such, I have decided to make a guitar this winter as my senior project. This blog will be following my attempt.
I will post the steps I take, post photos and make comments regarding the process... And hopefully, I'll post about the finished guitar!"

Thanks for reading!

I finished my guitar just in time for my Graduation! sadly the intonation was off so I couldn't really play it.
But, Sunday I took it to a local luthier who helped me figure out what was off. As it turns out the bridge was off, my fault as I measured in the wrong spot, and my nut could be filed better. So, he helped take the bridge off so i could reglue it in the right spot at home. Also he let me use his files and I got my nut prefect!
Last night I glued my bridge on the right spot, glued my nut back in and since moving the bridge back left a little bit of the previous holes showing I made a covering out of a piece of oak. I'll post pictures as soon as It's all put back together hopefully tomorrow!
