Wow, that is really looking great!

The blue sparkle looks really nice on that guitar. That is definitely one of the nicest finishes I've seen.

I think it needs something else.  Something definitely missing.  Looks a little odd.

Try some strings  :D

Nice one.   :)

I like it alot.

A guitar just doesn't look finished untill the strings are on.

Can't wait for the final pics.

BTW, I recently got inspired by a really cool color that should be very cool for a future guitar project. it's a torch red with a gold metallic flake in it. It looks red untill the light bounces off it on a certain angle and the whole thing lights up.



Sorry for the slight derailment.

That looks AWESOME, Dave :) Didnt think I'd like blue sparkle but it really works on that guitar.

i feel it really has come together well - i havnt even shown any of you the back yet

I am glad this korina was so nice, thats what prompted us to go with the binding and top only sparkle and i think that really works so much better than the all over sparkle would have done.

can you tell i am happy with it ;)

ratrod, i like that idea a lot.  i have a hofner thinline body around here somewhere i really need to make a neck for - it needs a hotrod paint job when done!!

I'd like to see a sister guitar to that Tele with a black back and a big fat humbucker in it...

Looks so right.. great decision to only sparkle the front.
