Arch Top guitar

Current stay at home project. Building an arch top guitar. Trying with nylon strings and slotted peg head. Back and sides are flamed cherry. Fingerboard is Zircote. Top is an old quarter sawn piece of knotty pine shelving. Hand painted an old witch on the tailpiece in lieu of doing any inlay work. Got the idea from one made by Bob Benedetto (worlds best arch top maker) who made a knotty pine one just to prove it could be done. This is s/n 0084.
