Thanks guys. All I can say is Rob is awesome. He cut the original basic inlay design for the back and decided it didn't look good enough and had me re-work it. So the multi-piece wings came in... then he came up with the idea for the scales on the snake chests. I love working with somebody that cares about the finished instrument I'm getting as much as I do.
Awesome!
Thanks Shawn! Good to see you posting again 
We have frets! Back inlays are also all cut now. I'm loving how this is coming together.

I'm such a sucker for those doublecut shapes, and this thing is just tickling all of my various fancies. You have an amazing guitar on the way man, I have much jelly.

The revised inlays look 100x cooler, the whole guitar is coming together nicely Steve!
New update. Rough carved back shot with the inlays in. The back will still get some more shaping and attention before finish is applied. Have I mentioned I'm loving how this is coming out?

Super awesome updates so far. That guitar is going to be super sick when it's finished for sure!

Whoo!
Missed this thread. The work is awesome, and the base idea is great!
The only point to me is about the heel from KxK guitars... I really don't like this shape. :/
But anyway, this walnut looks great! (as always with walnut!
)

I prefer a rounded heel, that fits the hand. More like regular heel.why not? It's the single most accessible heel I've ever seen on a guitar.
And for the access, this is for me the advantage of necktrough build: you can make a very deep heel by carving the interior of both horns on the back. Like Parker's heel.
But it's just my point of view, it seems clearly an great accessible heel.
Thanks everybody
Oh and not sure if I said it but the finish on this is going to be gloss on the walnut bits and oil on the mahogany (well, it's an oil / poly blend so the mahogany will still be completely sealed to avoid moisture problems with the mahogany)
So in other words you like to use the heel to support your hand? That's cool. Personally I like to not even notice there's a heel there so it's just like playing any other part of the neck

I'd say that's precision.

In fact, I don't play in high frets...So in other words you like to use the heel to support your hand? That's cool. Personally I like to not even notice there's a heel there so it's just like playing any other part of the neck
But yes, I like to use heel as support.
