The Materials


So i finally recieved the materials for the guitar after waiting for about 2 months. Long story...
 - Sitka spruce for the soundboard
-  Indian Rosewood for the back and sides
- Mahogany for the neck and blocks
- Ebony for the fingerboard, bridge and headstock overlay

The kit included kerfing, wood for braces and bone for the nut and saddle.

Since I had no experience in woodworking what so ever, it was pretty intimidating to look at all this raw wood and think that I would have to plane, sand and shape all of this into a guitar.
