I like everything but the lightning bolt strap and the phone camera pictures. Looks like you did a good job though, I like the inlay, looks like eyebrows kinda. Fancy. |

Nice job! When I first set out years ago to build a guitar because I couldn't afford a Gibson or Fender I would have quit before I got started if I knew it would have ended up costing me more to build the custom Strat style that I built 25 years ago. But the addiction set in and i still suffer from it. Well I wouldn't call it suffering. So have you started planning your second? |

Nice job! Love the sails and dots on the fretboard, and the relief for the control knobs. The carve looks sweet as well. Borrow a camera, those shots are not worthy of your massive effort. Rob |
