Here are some pics of a guitar I'm currently working on...

-Crazy Oregon Myrtlewood Top!
-One piece sapelli body!
-West african ebony fingerboard!

Construction is super thin with a big cutaway. The heel is extremely confortable and the instrument is very light because the owner is like me, he has back problems! :twisted:

This is how its looking like after the 3rd coat...

Its starting to look like an atomic bomb!

That's gorgeous!

I've made a few now with the beveled edges. It looks neat and makes a huge difference in the comfortable to play dept.
I like the way you turned it into an armrest feature on the top.

Looking great! Why did you use 6 neck screws on the second guitar and 4 on the current build?

Its a blend of natural stains, several different colours, sanding back adding more, sanding back etc...

One of the stains is local wine :mrgreen:
