    Nice sound. Do you build larger ones/more strings?

    More strings = Baroque guitar

    Ya I guess I'm wanting more like a vihuela, or... maybe a renaissance lute

    I bet that cedar one smells nice as well as sounds nice.

    Trust me, you're not alone! My workshop smelled amazing for weeks even after it was finished.
