It was a long project, Glad you like it. The White was a gamble, but I went with my gut. I like it, but everyone likes their own creations...Right? idunno

Impressive vision shown in this design.

Gorgeous!

The binding was a pain. If anyone knows where to get red plastic binding, let me know. I used a died wood which makes glueing a difficult job (2 types of glue).

Wow, that's about as clean as they come. Very nice execution [:Y:] And I'm with Chris, the red line is really a great detail

Being "Albino" I only had a couple choices & there had to be something separating the white paint from white binding. The red was about as close to pink as I could find. I thought it worked out pretty well. From a distance it gives a sort of pink appearance anyway.

Nice guitars! I lke the Rockabilly styling.

Are they carved or laminated?

Oh and WD has ABS in different colors that come in sheets. http://www.wdmusic.com/full_sheet_solid_red_21_51.html

sorry for the slow reply, traveling this weekend. It's hand carved Alaskan spruce top & maple back w/ 3 piece maple neck. I do all the shaping & carving by hand. Not interested in laminates at this point as a carved plate offers much more tuneability & don't have a duplicator to for any machine carving. Thanks for the WD tip. I just got a catalog from them but haven't had a chance to get into it.
