cheers peeps!!

I was a bit worried this would turn into a design by commitee nightmare but i couldnt be happier with how its turning out - so, many thanks to everyone that has made suggestions. Even if i ignored them this guitar looks the way it does because of this forum so everyone give themselves a pat on the back!!!

Hopefully it should all go together nice and i can play it tomorrow, then it will be set free into the world!!!

Just got this back from the sprayer

we didnt use any flattening agents in the paint so although its a matt finish it should polish up in certain areas from use - i thought that would suit the vibe of the guitar better than doing a proper relic

anyway - i am quite happy with how the burst turned out, wasnt sure i liked the idea at first!!

So is that flamed AND spalted?

EDIT: IT LOOKS $%&#IN FANTASTIC!

yep!! you see it quite often actually - most of the stuff i have had was good solid bits of flamed maple with the flame looking a bit rubbish in the spalted sections. This was a little more consistent

Seriously I have so many ideas I want Wez to build. A rocking neck through SG for example, that Strat bar-stewardisation, and I also could do with a new dining table and chairs...

Wow, Wez that looks awesome, I want one! I may contact you next summer about one of these if I manage to save some of my student loan for the last term :)
