I'm slowly building a steel string guitar, a Gibson L-00 style guitar. I've pretty much stopped playing on steel strings in favour of nylon strings, but I have friends who come over and can't play without picks. I'm tired of having guitar picks put scrapes into my nylons string guitar tops, so I'm putting this together for them to wail on.

I wanted a nice vintage vibe for this guitar so I am going with a traditional herringbone rosette. Not sure if it is traditional to Gibson, but oh well. (Yes, I could look it up if I wanted to, but I wanted a herringbone rosette and that's all there is to it!)

The body of the guitar is Mahogany and the top is spruce.

Its funny, but emotionally I'm not really counting this guitar as a real guitar build...
