I just recently finished this one. Koa back & sides, engelmann spruce top, ebony fingerboard, bridge, and headplate. Once I got to the finish stage it seemed that it fought me every step of the way. gaah But it turned out pretty nice... [:Y:]

That has got to be the most interesting electric guitar I have seen ;)

It is a great looking guitar, but it would probably get a lot more comments in the main forum instead of the electric section.

But on a closer look you will notice that this one is electrified.

Nice looking guitar Steve. The tortise binding goes very well with the Koa. What is the wood in the rosette?

woops... sorry guys, I meant to post in the acoustic section. Yes, in fact it is an acoustic electric. Good catch. The rosette wood is lacewood...

She's a beaut! Nice work there. Classic lines with some personal touches, executed brilliantly. Always nice to see.

Nicely done! My next project is an OM Electric, but the customer does not want a cutaway.
