That is just a gorgeous piece of work. I cannot imagine how much effort it was.

What a beautiful guitar! I'm just in awe. What did you put on the sides of the guitar? Are the pickups TV Jones? And, most importantly, are you going to take orders?

Bee-you-tee-ful! You should consider quitting your day job and building guitars! Is that one sold already? ;)

Fantastic. I particularly like the art deco headstock. Great work!

A piece of art, for sure. So you like those sides too, Sarah?! This guitar has many beautiful facets, some already mentioned by the others (even the tuning keys are in tune with the Art-deco style :shock: ) but those perloid sides are absolutely stunning; what a good idea that was, oigun! My compliments to you.

The sides are celluloid MOT, the pickups are filtertrons. Yes I take orders but have no clue how long it will take to build the next one :mrgreen:

I'm considering that but its not that easy with a mortgage and some kids running around the house. This one is still available btw. But have to wait for another month or so till the finish is dry enough to put the bridge on and do final setup. Can't wait to hear and play this guitar...

Tremendous! Never seen anything quite like this before. You just build one heck of a guitar!
