I received the guitar yesterday!
The guitar you built is the best I have ever played. As for playability and sound, they are exactly what I wanted. I can't wait to use it for my gigs from now on!

Nazareth Guitar Institute Archtop Guitar Building Workshop
The home of the Martin Guitar Factory since the early 1800’s, guitar building is in the air in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.  Building a guitar with Nazareth Guitar Institute’s Dale and Tyler Unger is a magical experience of a sort adults rarely enjoy.  It is like the summer camp where you made new friends, discovered new aptitudes and surged forward in self-confidence and independence.  Dale’s and Tyler’s deep knowledge and skill in guitar building and repair, informed by broad experience in teaching, is delivered in a relaxed atmosphere that provides all the guidance necessary to move participants smoothly through difficult processes without the anxiety and hesitation they would feel working alone.  Students leave at the end of a week too soon over with a great guitar, confidence in their ability to continue building instruments, and expanded appreciation of the fascinating history and on-going evolution of guitar building.
