So beautiful! For me, it would be even more prettier if you could get the rosewood fret board part to be a little lighter, more rosey less black. Embarassed Smile Is there a way to do that? This is so exciting Todd! Smile

cool.

what would you say is the average amount of hours it takes you to make a guitar?

good question.

in the first pic i thought, "woah, jumbo dot inlays!" then saw on the closeup the dots are the usual size but you added the extra circles - almost like bullseyes! very cool.

I would agree with the cool factor. They're pretty freaking awesome.

actually, i'm somewhat pleasantly surprised: the quilted maple doesn't look too bad with the finish on, and at least you're sticking with a reasonably traditional Telecaster set-up (unless you're really going to stick in Telecaster-sized humbuckers, and are doing it just to torture me! meany!), so… i don't know… i guess i might end up not completely hating it… maybe…

it kind of reminds me of this:



and i figure if it's good enough for Merle Haggard…

not that you care (or should…)

Set against the red velvet interior of the case, the body color looks even more vibrant - no offense to your gray-toned work area. Wink Magnificent work, if only we could hear what it sounds like too! Smile
