Green lacewood and purple cherry DC's

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

and of course unemployment.

nice!! i love that green color man! is that from reranch?

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

the green is a mix of 8 oz. minwax polycrylic and 10 oz. Wal mart green food dye.

This guitar is for a future sale. The purple on I am taking my sweet time with, its prototype 1 and is mine....many mistakes. it'd be a factory 3rd.

mixing the water based food dye with the poly makes it possible to wet sand the dye. works great dor smooth textured finishes

that purple heart is SO funky! props man! Great green finish!

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

Being as everyone likes the green....2 things.

1) Do you want a tutorial on how I mix my dyes?

2) It is for sale when it is finished. It will also have a bound body.

[canuckguitarist]

...how 'bout some close-up pics of the lace wood?

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

Thanx aaron. It will cost exactly $68.97 to kick it out.

Looking nice. Not too keen on the headstock though

Gonna chop it down a little?

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

The purple headstock was designed with the assistance of my wife's abstract mind. The green one has been cut, drilled and veneered. Finishing it 2 nite as well. Pics asap.

Also, due to budget constraints, there will be a delay on the promised tutorials. All apologies for any inconvieniences.

PS I got a job! I dont know where, the dude just left a cell number.

[Hotrock]

Just meant the headstock was about 2 feet long in the picture near the top.

Well done on the job dude. I'm looking for a new one at the minute (just been docked yet another days wages). Only 2 months of my notice left and I can get out of this hell hole.

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

Oh, that headstock ?

Yeah, I gotcha, it looks kinda warmoth esque now.

[daveq]

Hey Litchfield - nice looking guitars. Do you also sell gutars? I know, I'm sure everyone has already given you a hard time about that. I'm always late on these things. Congrats on the new job also. Have you found out what it is yet?

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

I got a job doing cabinets, if everything goes well. They didnt hire me, yet made me think so before I got there.

Yes I sell these babies. Hardest part. Build a great instrument, only to say good bye.

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

Pics of the headstock, pre veneer.

More pics tomarrowish.

[jimmyb]

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

veneered and drilled.

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

sorry no good pics of the volute.

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

Ordered truss rod today.

[daveq]

Very nice. Is that the neck that you were asking Derek about?

The question I posted earlier was me being a wise ass about your projectguitar name Gutars instead of Guitars. Sometimes my sarcasm goes undetected - sorry about that.

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

Yeah, the purple one is the one in question. I caught the sarcasm earlier, but just answered the question cuz I was too tired to do anything else...like now. Coffee and a smoke in 3....2....1
