Weeeelll.... they are mostly done. I am waiting on a new nut for #5 as the last one broke on me. I also have to bring the saddle down quite a bit, but there is no rush, it's not going anywhere.

I am fairly pleased with how they turned out. I am more disappointed in my carelessness. It seems that every guitar I build I end up nicking, scratching or stabbing it on accident. But overall, a step in the right direction, I definitely learned some stuff.

If you want to see the build progress, you can visit my blog (url in my sig)

On with the pictures!

#4 OLF SJ
Laurel B&S, Sitka SB, Maple Neck, Ebony trim. The headstock logo is the Japanese symbol for "Patience" as this is my second neck on this guitar.

#5 OLF SJ
Redheart B&S, Western RC SB, Spanish cedar/padauk neck, padauk and ebony trim. I guess i should have dusted it off before i took pictures...

Very nice, Marcus! I like the rosette and the diamond/circle detail on the back of #5. Well done!

Thanks guys!

The finish on #4 is nitro and one #5 is shellac. Both necks are finished with Tru-Oil.
