I’ve always wanted a blue guitar, so I built one (with Madinter wood only)

This was my plan B for the Great Guitar Build Off 2021, in case the One Piece build went wrong. But it didn’t, ... so now the “B“ stands for blue (thank you @Cranmer Guitars for the name suggestion). Lots of first times with this build: - first time using veneer (quilted maple veneer from @Madinter - Wood for Music ) and first time using a veneer press (using a skateboard veneer vacuum bag from Roarockit) - first time using wood that was dried, selected and milled for guitar building, and not staircases, decking, furniture and what not (all timbers are from , and that’s ash, flamed maple, and rosewood). Not having to dimension the rough sawn wood by myself was very enjoyable and I’m gonna have a hard time going back to the jointer/planer and table saw. - first time using stains (SuStain from ) and not leaving the natural color of the wood *Specs* - Body: 3-piece swamp ash, stained quilted maple veneer top, tortoise binding
