am doing two for different people at the moment and while the other only needs sanding and its far too cold to be finishing it, im leaving that for a while and getting on with this one.
its just a sakura model, but with a tonepros tunomatic and tailpiece, master vol and tone (usually hardtail bridge and 2 vols, master tone).
mahogany back, flame maple top (will be some kind of transparent blue), maple neck, rosewood fretboard. heres where it is so far

and this will be the inlay - he just wanted flames originally, but i did a little sketch using my standard 12th fret inlay as the flames and he liked it so thats what it will be

Very nice! :D
-
+1 Very nice

Thumbs up from me as well.

badass

neck is fretted and rough shaped and is gluing into the body as we speak. the top will get glued on later tonight and left over night.
this is the 12th fret side marker. the rest are aluminium tubes

Lovely work as usual.
What types of stone did you use for that inlay?
I'd be scared to touch one of your guitars as I fear my neanderthal gropage would violate their beauty.
-
silly sod. its lapis lazuli, web turquoise and blanco nero (white turquoise)
-
:) Like this design a lot

Never mind - you've still got wood. And you clearly know what to do with it.
-
it looks darker in the pics than it actually is. and the burst is dark blue not black

(http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h284/hooglebug/sakura/49.jpg)
(http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h284/hooglebug/sakura/48.jpg)
burst looks washed out on this one cos of the flash
(http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h284/hooglebug/sakura/50.jpg)
-
good colour choice
Another +1 on that, especially with the matching headstock.
-
And me. Great colour!.
-
just a front and back full shot. few more coats on

-
Lovely!
-
Looks great, congrats! :o
-
i virtually had to refinish the whole thing after the clear coat went mental for some reason. luckily it didnt go all the way down to the colour. but got it polished up today (well the top and headstock anyway, the rest is staying satin). the burst is still there, just the sun bleaches it out

oh wow, i thought it looked good before the pickups were in!
is there no way to get a chrome p90 cover? that'd be awesome. (or failing that, a black humbucker cover)
-
+1 on chrome covers on P90!
But this looks very cool!
-
tried it with a chrome one and it looks better with black for some reason. and the customer originally wanted chrome but prefered the black too so thats what hes getting
-
Yeah I like the black P90 as well. Its a beautiful guitars and very well built.
-
bootyfull
-

Fair enough, he pays, he chooses :lol:
-

ah, no worries, if you tried it and the black looks better, that's fair enough :D And as fernando says, it's the customer's choice.
-
That looks epic, i'm thinking if you were to experiment with covers then a burnt chrome cover on the bridge pickup would look stunning. But i like the current format.
-
yeah it probably would have worked quite well with that colour. o well, maybe next time. as for this one its just waiting for a case and to be payed for then its off to new yoik (comedy cr@p accent version of new york. obviously)
-
Looks stunning, although I think I would've chosen a fancier cover for the control cavity.
