Okay here it is. I got some pictures resized now. I took a while to remember how I did it, using Microsoft Image Pro. I call the guitar Big Brown (or "not quite triple crown"). The tobacco sunburst was a valliant attempt, using Jet spray furniture lacquer, it being all I had. I also used stair rail bolts for the mortise and tennon neck. Needs a bit more detailing, including winder bushings that LMI is sending me ASAP. It sounds quite good and buzzes a lot less than my first two. I am improving much to my astonishment.
