im working on a tele inspired guitar and loved the looks of some tooled leather pickguards i have seen, but since my body is not the same shape none of them would fit so i just made my own, turned out pretty descent let me know what you think |

tim this was my very first experience with leather tooling/working of any kind, but i tend to catch on pretty quickly and im quite confident that i can do knife sheaths. i actually have a couple of freinds who do a lot of bladesmithing and i am planning to start working with them and making some bowie knifes and stuff and ill be making sheaths for those, i'd love to help you out. |

i'll get pics posted up eventually, the guitar is all pretty much all done (just waiting for the lacquer to be ready for polishing) but im going to be gone for the next week to the cornerstone music fesitival in bushnill IL so it'll have to wait till i get back. |

That goes together nice Shad. Great guitar! Looks like engraving on the bridge plate and switch plate, did you do that also? Joe |

Way to go Shad, that is a fine looking git! Great combination going on there. Can't beat some handwork to make something fine. Joe |
