Wow, can't believe that I didn't spot this thread sooner. No better way to appear on the board eh?

BANG > build thread

I very much like the side marker bars and how your approach in general seems very pragmatic and thought out but not overcomplicated. Very very nice.

What was the Dremel base riding on as a reference guide for the side markers?

it was stewmac base

english walnut top

quilted maple

Nice details. I'll be following this build. I like the second inlay, I also like that wherever you got them from supplied a template, that is rare!

You mean sticky paper on fretboard? All inlays are handcut by myself. It's jast one of my experiments how to transfer pattern on wood, but nothing can't beat up a good scribe.

thanks

Thanx to all of You, guys! I'm really pleased to read so nice comments

immortalx, I don't want to sell this guitar for some reasons, but I can build a copy or make it with features suitable to You

wisdom727, it's a piezo wire and I put it into a string ferrule. finishing is standard and simple on top (stain, nitro sealer, 2 or 3 coats of tinted laquer and nitro top coats), but back is oiled.

peterbrown, something in Tele style

Osorio, maybe I should try )))

p.s. sorry, english is not my best
