Here are some pics of a guitar I have been working on recently. It has come to be known as the parrot guitar. Those who have been at the school have seen this guitar take shape over the last few months. For those that don't know about the guitar, the peghead is marquetry. Back and sides are EIR, Sitka top, ebony bridge and fretboard, maple bindings, and a 5 piece mahogany neck. The finish is lacquer buffed to a high gloss and the materials are from LMI's unserviced kit.
Enjoy!
