Great looking guitar. And I like the idea of using a veneer for the fingerboard dots- a lot cheaper than shell inlay, and just as nice looking.

Thanks fellas!

Wayne, the fingerboard dots were cut from thin veneers that i bought at Lee Valley, a lifetime supply for $50 Can, easy to pierce with that paper piercing tool that i forget the name!

Thanks Hesh!

Yeah, Martin has his ways of knowing things in advance, he found out about my plans!

Thanks Gene, oh and i forgot, the colleection of veneers in the box that Lee Valley sells has tremendous variety!

CHEERS

Thanks Terry, the fretboard design was inspired by Kevin Gallagher actually but it was a pain to bend the laminations in there though, Kevin has skills that i don't have yet especially with inlaying.

Merci beaucoup Docteur Andy, mon ami!

Hey Andy, you must be close to showing your last efforts?

Terry too?

Thanks Tim, one other nice things about the Lee Valley veneers was that i used some as side braces and i also plan on using 3 layers of them to make a wooden pickguard, i think it should give the guitar some artsy feeling.

Oh and i will also try to come up with my own logo, using them veneers!

Cheers

Thanks Billy and Colin!

Billy, ok, i'll make him wear and will take a pic of the safety gear next time he's around, there will be no doubt he's my bro!

Colin, thank you very much and please let me say that your involvement here is one major reason for that!

Thanks
