That's a beauty. Can't wait to hear it.

Nice! Great stain and finish work.
Actually, i'm not totally happy with the finish..It was my first venture with power buffing and I was somewhat intimidated-didn't want to burn through so it could be better..The next one will be easier..I hope!

I doesn't show in the photos too much. Looks beautiful to me. Love the coloring. Thing only thing I think would make it better would be the unplated bronze Oricco tailpiece. That tailpiece looks great with certain colors and I think it would look great on yours. It sure is a beauty and I can't wait to hear it.

I never seen that tailpiece..Nice deco design!..I agree that would be attactive.What tuners would one use to go with it? I was trying to keep track of hours and material cost to see if I can make these affordable-all that fancier stuff just adds to the bottom line, but it could be an upgrade. I have schaller tuners on it now and a CA bridge,with a standard stewmac tailpiece.
