Dang! Some really nice guitars everybody, well done. It's an honor even getting votes with the competition this month. I had to vote for Toddler's, that thing is beautiful.

Absolutely...that's how I feel about the color choice...thank you...

Oh you found it! Right on thanks for combining them...it'd been so long I forgot that thread existed... It's a piece of fabric glued on. Now you can see the difference between the in progress shot on the first page of this thread and the finished shot. I know on this forum the feelings were mixed on the red...I don't think there was really any other way to go with it...other forums agreed completely on the red...*shrug*...

I think you should go with the purple, that'd look good with the blue. Do a slight burst on the edge of the front and back...

My first entry as well for GotM...this is my second refinish. It's an asian landscape with a "Red Fog" setting in... Notice here how the graphic of the body moves seamlessly into the pickguard graphic. Those were refinished separately of course. And the matching headstock.

Been a little while but this baby is done. I'll edit and add more pics soon...

I like that body shape, def. more of a "bass" look but on a guitar I think it'll be really unique. Ya know I liked the ball ends on both horns, but it did seem really fragile so that would have been tough to work with. Still looks pretty good. Nice work!

Yea that does look like a unique V design, I like it...

Holy cow...that's looking awesome. I'm just following all of this right now, this is the first time i've seen this whole project and it's amazing watching it come together. Like most I was curious about the shapes of the body and headstock at first but once u started carving them I was completely sold on the design, looks fantastic. Love that carved look, especially great for bass. Well done all around.

That's so crazy to hear you guys talk about Grizzly, I live just a couple towns from where it's at and my buddy at work has been tellin me to go there for the last year or more because of all the cool they have for guitars. I still have not made it in, shame on me.

I like the mock up you made. The flower design is cool, def. go with that. Actually I think a brown guitar with the black design u made would look sweet.

Yea looks great so far.

Thanks for your opinions everyone...I'll leave the jury open on applying color to the pickguard for now, still not quite sure...

Wow I've never seen a piece of wood that gorgeous! That looks fantastic. I wouldn't do anything with it color-wise, you mentioned bursting in hunter green....don't do it. Black hardware on that baby'll look fantastic. Keep it natural...so amazing...Well done...

Think so? See the color for the sides and burst (I like doin a burst I think it blends into the graphic nice and looks better *shrug*) was an issue for awhile because I couldn't figure what color to use. The fabric is actually an off white, but not quite beige, so I couldn't find a color that was suitable, white was just TOO white and everything else I found was too dark, so I tried other colors like a light gray and thought about black but wasn't happy with either. My girfriend suggested red and seemed to fit well, it looked good (i thought ) and went with the theme of the graphic. But yea, thanks for the reply.
