Holding our new guitar with Chris, our master luthier teacher.
It sounds amazing... perfect intonation and accoustics!
Our first piece of wood.
Amazingly the stack of wood clamped together below turned into the guitar neck.

Unfortunately, this is the only group picture we have with the other couple (Malachy and Stephanie from Ireland) that was 2 weeks ahead of us on their guitar. We became quite good friends and hope that our travels will cross paths again.

I have been having fun trying to catch up on your 'experiences'. How neat to be able to travel and experience like you two are doing. I am hoping to one day be able to travel outside of Utah. Be safe and keep posting. I will catch up on your posts one day! Glad to see you are doing well.
