So last weekend I was at my uncle's 70th birthday party and was asked by my aunt to build a guitar for her granddaughter's upcoming birthday. Gave her a few options, and we agreed on a slightly scaled down version of my Gibson L-00 mold. I gathered some materials this week, and got started on the mold and neck blank over the past 2 days.

I'm hoping to get the sides bent this weekend, stay tuned for more updates.
