Dean Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 More pics of build I will be trueing up the sides and back and working on the neck some more ....I need money for the top ,it will be spruce or cyder,I would like the spruse but it dependes on the cost. The neck will get side markers and the head caped nd drilled for tuners,shaped and coated with tru oil. Let me know what you think....any suggestions and stuff.

SR Scotttttttaaaa, thanks for the kind words.I usually over do it art wise, but this medium seems to work for me .I never know what I am going to do ,till I do it.I am using the under lying wood kinda like inlay in places.I like the accents comming from the bottom.I should be putting tung oil on the neck soon and working it to a finish .It will come alive.hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I am still looking for the top for this.I will probably buy one from SM.Going to NAMM so it will be awhile.Or since this is still a early build , I might do something kinda strange.I am leaning toward strange right now .
