Janne,
The guitars I have built to date are all archtop acoustics. I have not completed my first electric yet but will soon. The guitar I have on my bench right now is going to absolultly mindblowing!! It's made of cooked flame maple and instead of having a checkerboard pattern, every square is outlined with thin venneer. I should be finished at the end of March. Please help spread the word about me!

I was even thinking about building a martin "0" size, which I gues is a little smaller than what you built across the lower bout. I have several guitars to choose from for different voices and so if I build an instrument with a limited rnge it would be just fine. Thanks, Edward

Janne,
I don't know what "terve" means but I will assume it's a good thing and say it too! I too have only built a few instruments, and those have only been for myself, family and friends. I am looking into building a slot head small bodied guitar like the one in your picture. How does it's sound compare to a Dreadnaught? I am used toplaying large jumbos (Gibson and Guild) and so it will be quite a change for me! Here is a linnk to my page and some links to some of the instuments I have made...if you get a chance to visit my site please leav amessage on my Guestbook page! Thanks, Edward
