Holy shit, dude. This thing is getting sicker and sicker. His work looks excellent.

Pretty much...I just really want him to hurry up and get it stained, because that's the thing that's just going to make this pop.

Doubt it's going anywhere.

And on that note; have a few more. He also go around to recessing the bridge a bit:

Forever tripping over that neck binding.

EDIT: You know, because it's cool. The way it marks the frets continues to blow my mind lol.

 

[MisterMcCruff]

Phwoargh! That's stunning.
Seriously impressive level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Can't wait to see it stained.

 

[WiseSplinter]

Amazing. I'm loving the "thick" binding
The logo inlay on the back of the headstock is a nice touch as well. Is the front staying inlay free?

It's nice to wake up, have my morning coffee, and see the updates in this thread!

He'll most likely sign it in the redwood section as he did for the last two builds he just finished.

Lol, I hear that; just imagine how good it feels for me to break up my work day getting texted updates on the fly!

 

[Watty]

Apparently today is sanding day.

Edit: Apparently someone dislikes the fact that sanding is taking place....?

Patience, padawan. Probably tomorrow morning, unless he skipped out on his other job today.

I wish redwood was more commonly used on production guitars. Looking at lumber distributers I saw figured redwood was half as much as figured maple, and in my opinion it is superior looking.

Yep, pretty much. And along that line, check out the pics below. This isn't even stained yet, he just rubbed some naptha on it to clean it before the black goes on.

The figure might not be the most consistent ever, but I like that it showcases a ton of curl on the parts of the body not covered by hardware!

LOOK AT THAT GRAIN!!!!!

Even the god damn bird is curly!!!

 

[Watty]

Aaaannnnnnnddddd, black is on. Be sanded back tomorrow and the brown will be applied!

 

[straightshreddd]

Damn, this might be guitar of the year for me.
