A quick clip of a student's brand new guitar built in a private guitar building class at O'Brien Guitars in Parker, Colorado. The bridge is only temporarily bolted on for a set up and then will be removed for the finish work. We just strung it up to get an idea of the results of our efforts and now this beautiful Honduran Rosewood dred will get a high gloss UV cured finish on it.
