This takes you through completion of Jim’s guitar. The next episode will feature delivery as well as features on this guitar.

This Podcast will take you through the entire process of building a guitar for a good friend. Jim has asked me to build a jumbo with a rosewood back and sides and curly maple binding. This will be my third guitar to build and will be from a kit comprised of wood directly from the martin factory. However, because Jim’s guitar is customized there will be other parts which were ordered from various luthier supply companies. This process should take several months depending on my time available as this is a hobby now, not a full time job. Feel free to email me any questions you might have. will@livingstonguitars.com
