Note: In these last 2 pics, bear in mind that the neck isn't glued into the body yet. This shows how TIGHT the neck joint is, and how precise Jason is in his work.

Soooo, lemonburst?

Yup... But odd that the body doesn't look as thick as it was initially. I guess the rolling of the edges takes away some girth visually.

Colour Stain Test
Actual Staining begins!
I love how much the flame pops out at the end! It's looking great! The colour was meant to be a lemon drop at first, but I realised that all the lemon drops in BOTB had aged lacquer which made them more amber than anything else. So Jason tried to recreate that vintage appeal in the colour. I think he did it well. What' even more amazing, is that there's a very subtle burst to be added. So subtle that it's almost imperceptible in normal light conditions. Can't wait to see how he does that!

The burst is done!
That is seriously a really nice burst. This is turning out nicer than I expected!

Wow 
. This build is turning out great! I saw the guitar with the stain, and I felt jealous. I saw it with the burst, and I freaked out. It's a beautiful color, and it makes the flame pop so much!

Wow, I love the flame - the top looks UNREAL.
Actually the photo is of Jason's wife, Elizabeth I believe? She handles some minimal inlay work but the woman who does the crazy inlay work is Athena.

I'm so stoked. Jason went off the colour I initially asked for for the top and the back, but the concepts were preserved. Looking at the results, I'm actually quite glad he did. heheh...
I guess trusting the guy who builds your guitar is a good thing!
And finally:
I think that smokeburst back turned out GREAT! nicer than I expected! Thanks Jason!

Yeah... I didn't realise the bursts were the same colour for front and back until Jason told me. That's way cool. But because the woods are different, the colours show up differently.
