Cool work, keep it up! Is that a Shin-Ei clone?

Looks good to me. It reminds me of a few other guitars;

Epiphone ET 270

Image

Silvertone 1448

Image

Speaking of the Silvertone, That was made by Danelectro and it has a mostly hollow body. The man photographed (Dexter Romweber) played his Silvertone both heavily and calmly, IMHO...



Austin
1966 Ventures II (German Carved, B670.)
1970s "Not a Blues Bender" Bodies: 2.
1976 Brass Rail Deluxe #10.
2013 Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI.

HUGE UPDATE!!!!!!
I reshaped the headstock and painted the pick guard. I just assembled it and it looks and plays great. now all that's left to do is wait until spring and paint it a few more times.
Thanks,
Caleb
