I am waiting for the body and neck to come back from Uk, Alan is putting the barrier coat and it had to dry a bit before it ships and then it is full speed ahead, not much by the way of progress at the moment, I am working on another project while I am waiting, it's a 7 string sticker'd green meanie with a sustainer, and jem body routings.... guitar stuff seems to take forever if you don't do the work yourself.

Well at long last, everything is on track to be finished in the next few weeks, I sent the body out for clear coating and the mounting of the fretboard. There is a local guitar show here in Farmington CT on March 31st, and my luthier wants to show it there (If there is anybody nearby in CT who wants to see it), so I will post some finished pics towards the end of March.

I appreciate the support, it is cool to know I am not the only one who likes this style of guitars, it took a while but it is almost there. Let me know what you guys think when you see it, and thanks!! also, let Chris (the magician from hot rod 6 strings who made this possible) know you're from the site and I will tell him to let you guys try it out, otherwise he told me he is not going to let anyone near it (too hard to fix if something goes bad, LOL)...

I just figured I would post an update, no guitar photos, that will have to wait, but I had a stand done.... it is neon pink, matches the guitar.... it's all about accessories.... LOL
Guitar is moving along, I will formally thank everyone later, but the guys I have worked with have made this a lot of fun, and I am very excited now that the end is in sight, it has been 2 long years, roughly 3 if you count the planning stages so far, but this is turning out way better than I ever hoped.

That stand is hysterical in the best way possible. I fucking love this project.

it's actually powder coated, it's neon pink although the pics do it no justice, it is almost a spot on match to the swirl pink in the body.
Just wanted to be different....

I am keen on getting the control knobs from a couple of my guitars powder coated, I want some fluoro hardware, but I'm not really a fan of those tophat knobs

the guy I worked with had to order it so I ended up buying a 5lb box/bag, but it is really bright in person, I would get some metal ones and have them coated, they are very durable and unlike the paint they won't wear off.
