Tel Aviv TB22 - 30” Baritone

This was my first foray into guitar finishing. I had put together parts-casters, 3D printed my own guitar body designs, and then assembled them into functioning instruments. But I had never gone so far as to carve/paint/stain a wooden instrument to whatever the heck degree I did here. To be clear: I did not design or build the body and neck on this instrument, I simply bought something semi-complete from China and finished them to my liking. Complete builds came after this. Need to include this as it was an important stepping stone for me!
