Customer designed it off of that one editor that is so famous and axed me to do this.  Body is sapele, top is a quilt/flame maple mix, neck is ziricote, fretboard will be ebony. I took the excess from the body and made the headstock faceplate. I wanted to stain it way earlier than I normally do to see how the color would turn out, this will all be sanded out when I do the top carve. I will also be making the pickups and capacitors for this build. Anyway, enjoy!           [/QUOTE] |

If you can make this guitar look half as dramatic as the first pic, you'll be lauded as one awesome luthier. Good luck! |

Thanks for all the compliments. Yes I am going to carve the top, today I routed the truss rod channel and glued the ears on the headstock. Pictures coming soon. |

Here is the latest update, neck is pretty well done, just needs a carve to the back of it and some tuning peg holes drilled and a lot of sanding, cut the neck pocket today too and mocked up the fretboard.

Mild update, slotted a board, cut it, glued it to the neck, then used my laser sight to ensure it was all on the centerline, it's dead on. Gotta get one of those long stew mac radius beams and some humbucker kits and I should be done pretty quick after that. I made a 3D model of this in solidworks, I will be getting another CNC soon and production should ramp up after learning the perils of making what's on your computer come to life with the CNC.
