Guys,
Thanks for the kind words and constructive criticisim. Kenny, I used the Stew Mac blue dye mixed with alcohol. I just mixed it a few shades darker than the color I wanted, then I hit it with some 0000 steel wool to expose the grain and repeated as necessary. Xanthus, I tried to follow the shape of the body with the headstock design. I will be changing the inlay for the next build, I'm thinking staying with the celt design but encasing it in a circle to make the inlay easier. I see what your'e saying about the pickup rings, I may just make a set out of walnut and see how that looks. I've got a ton to learn but someday I would love to acually be able to sell a guitar, however, I would need to perfect my work first and that's going to take me quite some time.
