Doing 2 builds at once, build thread

[fordmugg]

Well i cant stop building, but that's a good problem....lol.. so I'm doing 2 side by side this time...

The first is mahogany body, birds eye maple top, black limba/walnut 5 piece neck set in with rosewood fretboard

The 2nd is ash body same neck but bolt on...
The maple top one is a little farther along but there both getting close to lacquer

I was just thinking how good would it be to have a highly trained sanding monkey?

Thank you for the detailed pics. I certainly enjoy these types of threads.

I believe I'm right in saying that you have the first decent looking original headstock that isn't trademarked by a major company that I have ever seen.

That's what I had kids for.

Thank you....i worked a while to come up with something original and that wasn't too close to something else...and that's hard in the guitar world...lol

Definately agree with this!! You need to stain one green to match my being green with envy.. Wish I had : a workshop, the talent to do this, AND the beautiful guitars you are going to end up with!!
