Very cool....How did you do that red & white paint job??

Lookin' good! And i too like the paint job.
And you've gone further than me. I have yet to build an acoustic, although I'm working on a hybrid of the acoustic and electric that I plan on posting a thread about soon.
Good work, and welcome to the forum!

I like that acoustic! maybe you could consider a sound port on the top of the upper bout, since that soundhole is so tiny!

I think the built in carrying handle on the red streaked electric is a very nice idea. I've never seen anything quite like that--very stylish and cool looking.

Cool! I like the paint jobs. I wonder how the acoustic will sound with such a small soundhole. Maybe heavy on the bass?

Hello, Milan. I like your guitars, but I see something on the flat top acoustic that worries me. It looks as though the center joint on the top isn't tight near the tail. It looks almost as if the join has sprung open. I would examine that very, very carefully, and if it's a problem with the joint, I'd stop right now, remove the top, remove any internal bracing, and re-joint that top seam. You can always re-apply new braces, and if re-jointing makes the top a bit narrower, you can widen your bindings to compensate for that. I think the built in carrying handle on the red streaked electric is a very nice idea. I've never seen anything quite like that--very stylish and cool looking.

Sorry a didnt say nothing about guitars,acoustic guitars is made of cherry (back and sides),very very low qualiti spruce,neck is from walnut,swirl electric is made of swamp ash (body)and oak neck (dried of for about 50 years).And the unfinisahed elektric guitar is the copy of musicman jpx6 ,body is from maple (with tone chambers)and basswood as a top.All this guitars are test models.

Milan, Your English is just fine. We can understand you very well. And if you continue to correspond with us, your English will get better and better! I am glad to know I was only seeing a pencil line in your top. I did NOT see the joins for the three pieces. Very nice craftsmanship, my friend! Patrick

That's actually a feature on Ibanez Steve Vai Jem models. They've been doing it for a long time now. Cool work though, milance. You're definitely a productive guy
