Incredible looking guitar there but I can't help feeling that gold hardware would just perfect for the body colour?

In any case I'm sure it'll look even more amazing when finished  :D

Very nice, also like the fact that you're not gonna put the usual tune-o-matic/stoptail or a wraparound but a fixed strat type bridge on it. Makes it even more unique.

i think i prefered the colour of the first one you did but the design has definately come a long way.... the swoosh interupts the design less.  Loving the wenge neck!!!

So much talent! Makeh me feel so useless!

Great stuff, always good to have a sneak preview of guitars in the making. Can't wait to see it finished (but I bet you're even more keen for that, right? :))

:aww:

WOW, now thats a looker, a 10 for the body!

Just a small point, are you planning on filling/sealing the fretboard? Wenge pores are a huge crud and snazzle magnet.

the neck is sealed with danish oil and the fingerboard is lightly oiled. it should be ok i think, plus if it gets wiped down regularly it will be fine.

thanks for all the comments everybody

Looks gorgeous- the kind of guitar you really want to pick up and play :) Shape wise it puts me in mind of a Chris Larkin ASAD range which I have been GASing over for a long old time...

Very nice, I really like all the rounded edges on the back.  Looks as comfy as an old pair of slippers.

You like your curves :D

I like the color, is that the final or are you going to do anymore to the color? It'll be a masterpiece once it's finished. :)

thats it as far as finish goes. it just needs wiring and any tweaks to the frets that might be needed.
