Classic Sakura

well its taken far too long and it doesn't look like I imagined it looking (every time I see a nice pink/purple evening sky i'm annoyed) but I still like it and at least its done. and sounds really nice. even before you plug it in.

the pickup is an old bare knuckle p90 (dont ask which, I cant remember). tuners are graphtech ratio (with buttons I made because I love that shape) which are really nice tuners. bridge is also graphtech with a ghost system. 

anyway, heres some picsDSC_5779.thumb.jpg.e5329406b6159c21907004a7c2cb0bd8.jpg

you can see some remnants of the pink that would NOT come out right at the bottomDSC_5784.thumb.jpg.01b70cae922637e576ba11a3a0bcc243.jpgDSC_5817.thumb.jpg.a0a22624e8edcdcba8304be5025bae21.jpg

you can barely make it out but there are the Japanese characters  'sakura' on the 12th fret (cherry blossom if you didn't know) which was the most fiddly bit of inlay to cut

by the way, the top and back are from the same plank of wood - it cost £25.  not bad for that price!
