Craig;

Nothing I could say would due justice to your skill and imagination for inlays.

So I guess I can only

Look for some name in the Arachnid world, it looks kinda like a mean insect. Y'know, like 'Mantis' or some other insect name.

I agree, the horns look like the pincers or mandibles of a large insect. Actually the whole body looks like the head of some kind of insect.

Mantis sounds kool, also maybe Recluse as in the Brown Recluse Spider.

IF only want to pick from the above list I would go with Sniper.

I possibly need more sleep too!!!!

From a father for almost 20 years, congrats and many blessings to you and yours.

It is going to be one hell of a ride for you and your wife, but just hang on and enjoy the hell out of it, even during the rough times.

Very cute little one you have there.

We went from Amatuer Guitar for the Month of August to Weather conditions. . . . .

Hmmmm. . . . . There must be a correlation in there somewhere

I voted for Primal's bass because of the extra effort of it being an early in his skill level project, although I consider all of the entries far and above my meager skill level and awesome pieces of work.

P.S. It is mid 70's, sunny and humidity of around 30 - 40% here in northeast Il.

Um Im not an expert on this but wouldn't zebra wood be real bad for a neck considering it splits real easy?

I have a Zebrawood neck that I will be putting on a piece built and it is very solid and not looking to split any time soon!

Dragyn

Doh, mean you dun play guitar with your toes????

Maybe that is where I've gone wrong with it. . . . .

Dragyn

Hmmmm. A water based clear coat that doesn't mute the natural colours of woods. I think I need to try that stuff out on some of my other woodworking projects, besides the guitars. . . .

Thanks for the link!

From one newbie to another. . .. . . .

I bid thee welcome!

Dragyn

Somewhere between novice and hobbiest.

Refinished a couple and putting two together from parts.

It also looks like it would be painful to play if you had to sitting down as well. Just don't slip, if you do. Ouch!!

Killer styling!

Man I am getting more and more jealous by the guitar/bass. . . . .

Great looking work there.

Dragyn

Try using the search tool above and search for tools. There have been a couple of threads concerning the topic that should be able to get you started. May also want to check the tools section of the forum as well.

Welcome.

Dragyn

I was gonna PM this, but your box was full.

Same here.

How much are you asking for the tobacco burst strat body?

Dragyn

Lookin' good so far. Keep the pics coming!!!!

Dragyn

Way kool axe!

Dragyn

Looks very good. Be sure and show us the finished finished product.

What colour where you going to make it?

Dragyn

The "ears" would be a bit deeper to account for the length of the mounting screws if you are using a pickguard or mounting ring. If mounting directly to the guitar body then I would think they would be the same level.

If I am wrong, please correct me!

Dragyn

Best of luck to you sir.

My daughter is the base player in the family and she went nuts over seeing that one. . . . . .

There is no way I am going to be able to make her one that good!!!!!

Sheesh!!!!

I am going to have to stop going to this forum when the kids are still awake.

Awesome bass axe there sir. I salute you.

Dragyn

Do a search in the above solid body area and also on the Projectguitar web site are some refinishing tutorials that I found extremely helpful.

Good luck on your project!
