Beautiful Lance. Love the 'burst & the headplate (soon be nicknaming you "Grit"!)
Interesting violin-like approach on the neck. Could you post a pic after your done?


Thanks Dave, yes ill post a shot once its complete.
As for the inlay art, that was done by my good friend and OLF Sponsor Paul Bordeaux! He is a master for sure!

I've had this on on my bench for almost 2 years. I've not been able to motivate myself to finish it so it just sat around while I worked on other stuff. As you can see, it's a dread... Mahogany with an Adi top. Last week, my son announced that he'd like to take guitar lessons, so I decided to finish this one up for him. This weekend I filled the dings with Z-poxy and gave it a burst (my first). This is how it came out.

It'll get some clear lacquer this week after I scrape the overspray from the rosette and purfling. Also cut some neck blanks from some salvaged Caribbean Mahogany I picked up in Miami last year. My shop also got a long overdue cleaning.
