We did the bending thing in another job, but the owner of this guitar wanted to have it this way. I do like it though. As you said it looks totally 70's and this guy is going on tour this summer with an old band from the 80s so I guess it goes with stage props and the vibe of the whole show Thanks for the comments,

Thanks for the comment. Now I have to learn about Tru oil. I love oil finishes and this seems like a nice project for my very own first guitar. Thanks again

I posted this in the wrong place (Ooops!) so I am posting it over here while I ask the mods to delete the original. I have been reading and learning a lot in these forums and finally decided to post something for review and comments. Recently I started working with a friend in Madrid to help him out start and run his own Custom Guitar Shop. I help him with admin stuff and he is teaching me how to set up, fix and build guitars. I've been a guitar player for 24 yrs and thought this would be a nice oportunity to learn how to make a guitar for my 2 yrs old son. Anyway. After a couple of hard working weeks. On friday we finished our fist Mieussens Strat Prototipe (Code name Kelly Ann :wink: ) It will go on the road this summer with a well know spanish guitar player and will serve as a testing ground along with 2 other guitars to be finished this coming week. American Walnut Neck-thru-body with Rosewood fretboard. American Mahogany with figured Canadian Maple top. It sports Seymour Duncan JB and Jazz Pick-ups, a Schaller fixed bridge and Gotoh Locking tuners. I will post the other guitar's pics as they come out. Any commnets would be highly appreciated and welcome. I am here to try and learn as much as possible.

Interesting looking wood! I will research a bit about Limba, but somehow I had the idea that it was a kind of Mahogany Anyway. Have you tried a JB in the bridge? they sound nicer to my ears at least. Great job though.

These are some extremely nice looking instruments. I am just getting started into guitar making, but I can see the great deal of work that has gone into these. Awesome wood selections too. I never thought Walnut could look so good with an oil finish.

Thanks a lot for the list. I rpinted it and it is up in our office's bulletin board. There is only 4 of us working here, but we have had some form of running nose these past 3 months. Exactly when we started working with American Walnut. It smells like Iodine so that should have told us something Later.

Chamo ¿que nombre te dieron en el aserradero? Now. I used to work with Venezuelan woods while living in Valencia and remember a purpleish wood, but I can't recall the name now. Also remember that many Brazilian woods are found in Venezuela as both countries share amazonian borders. There was wonderful and weird looking wood around the Guacharo's cave area but never got to work with it. Look it around. It is reddish with yellow and brown stripes. Don't worry about Maple and such and try an use your local woods. There are some very nice, cheap and unknown woods around that can be used to make great instruments. Nicolas Volpe is a personal friend and he uses Carretero for some fretboards and it looks awesome! You can even find some excellent Venezuelan Mahogany that has as good a sound/look as Honduras. I have even seen many "bird's eye" planks of Venezuelan Mahogany and they are stunning. Un saludo desde España
