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?

The first axe looks like burnished platinum.. its insane..Love the assymetry at the tail...nice
Guessing the top of the 2nd has had the treatment as well ya mmhhhmmm psst dont tell us how you did em

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! still a couple more coats to go... This is how its looking like after the 3rd coat... Its starting to look like an atomic bomb! I just received the pickups from Kent, the perfect match! Also working on the shielding...
