The Relative
This was my first attempt at guitarmaking and design. I built it on the fly, meaning I basically drew on the wood and changed my mind a thousand times throught the process. I called it Relativity because every little design element relates to something else on the guitar somehow. The bridge is my favorate part of this one. Also, the circle on the upper bout is a recessed volume control. Finished it with a hand applied oil finish.
