Nice Volute! It looks like the headstock is showing you the tongue. :thumb:

:hmm:.........:p

LOL I thought the same thing - I'd paint a face on the back with the volute as the tongue. It's probably a good thing I don't paint guitars.

:D

If I'll para-phrase an old Russian proverb...:)

The ARTIST MOJO.
It's not dissoluble in tequila. :thumbs:

:beer::420:

My god, #3 looks killer ! The top especially. I like the use of cream P90's for #4.
Imagine a double bound burst with those pickups. :thumb:

glad you like, light weight too, that #3 is just over 5 lbs as it hangs now

So you don't use any filler for mahogany?

I seal them with clear lacquer first then sand and use a little clear filler on them, I kinda like the sunken pore look and I think it makes the neck a little faster

Wow, Scatter. Ya know, since we're both in Florida and all....and seeing as how you
nailed the exact color I'm looking for on that Les Paul.....ummm, don't be surprised if
your Les Paul gets replaced with a somewhat sloppier build, that's no where near that
stage of completion. Trust me when I say, "It's ok...it was all just a dream. You just
THOUGHT you had it almost done"!

Great work, as usual. Share some of those skillz, will ya?
