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!

Thanks Clinton, i will try varnish for the back and sides and maybe FP for the top. You bet i can't wait, this is the lightest guitar i've held in my hands me thinks!

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? Serge |

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!
