Hi everybody. I'm Paolo from Italy. I've been lurking here for some time and decided to join the forum to show you my first homemade guitar, inspired by Guthrie's Suhrs...

Any comment is appreciated...

Great work! It takes a lot of time and patience to make a guitar that looks that good - the finish looks really good!

Congratulations.

@MissMisstreater
The body, neck and pickups are completely homemade, the rest (bridge, tuning machine, etc) has been bought.

@Frankus
Thanks! It took about fourty days to build it from raw wood.

You are right, it is not easy. I decided to build a carved top guitar instead of a drop top one because the friend who taught me is a really good top carver and I wanted to learn this technique. If you like carved tops, you can see his guitars here http://www.negriniguitars.com/.
