     These are worn holes. I did not fill them intentionally, but the finish got in them and well...sort of closed them up. I wish they were fully open to the inside.   I have more pics if anyone is interested I just did not want to post too many. HA!! Thanks for looking! Tony |

Nice black Limba, cool looking build. I thought of doing the black limba bindings on my Limba build but went with ebony though the Limba also looks great. How do you like the sound? Fred |

VERY nice, Tony!!! I especially like how you did the end graft. The whole guitar is gorgeous though. The orange in that limba really adds to it. You did a good job and I like your shoes.

That's just a downright purty Guitar, Tony! Love the top. I also like the wormholes. I once made a solidbody guitar out of wormy flamed Teak! I wish I still had that guitar. |

Very nice Tony, I like the tail wedge, the side dots, the bridge and the worm holes. |

Thanks everyone! I made the pinless bridge. I have some pics of the process if you are interested I could post a toot on making one with minimal power tools and no jigs. And lots of luck. Don't forget the luck! I appreciate the positive comments! |

| There's an awful lot to like about that one Tony! Love that top and looks great with the burl rosette. It all worked out great. Butt wedge, bridge, fret markers. Good going. Did you take the photos? They're really nice. Cheers, Danny |

Thanks again. Yes I took the pics. They are ok but my wife takes great ones. Last night however, she wasn't in the mood. She didn't want to take pics either! Ba dum bum! I could not work out the glare and reflection issues. I will see if she can assist tonight. As of right now, it seems like only one of the sides of this guitar has a smooth, shiny finish on it! |

Excellent, excellent build Tony! Fantastic work. Would you mind telling me how or where you got your headstock logo done? It looks great and I'm trying to figure out how to do a non-inlay style logo like that. I really appreciate any input on your logo. Rob |

Nice guitar! I like the butt strap allot. The position markers are a great idea-bet you'll see more like that now. It it a conventional X brace? Mike |

Beautiful build. Lot's going on but it all blends well, crisp and clean. The top, what is it and where did you get it? |

Thanks everyone. I finished this guitar with Deft rattle cans. I normally brush Deft, but I thought I would give the cans a try. It worked well in my opinion. The decal came from Vinyl-decals.com. They were pretty fast too. There is a set up fee but it is one time only, then you can order more at any time in the future. The position markers were not my idea. I saw them on another guitar, but they do look nice! Thanks! |
