if i may ask,......... what kind of bridge/tailpiece is that?

Here is one of the best woods which I have ever used for building a body IMO - ELM

It looks like Ash on steroïds with much more colour... (pretty much unknown in guitar building)

Its hard to find a big enough piece for making a 1 piece body...

Here is a guitar which I built using a 2 pieces of swiss elm, I also glued a crazy maple top on it (just in case your wondering what is that insane wood...)

If you look at pic number 2 you can see that I jointed the body using a shark joint...

The sustain is out of this world, and its extremely stable but pretty harsh on the tools.

in the sunchine

And here is an other guitar on which I used a unique piece of flamed Mukushi (Zambian Teak) for the fingerboard.... (again pretty unknown in guitar building)

and some intense flamed oregon myrtlewood for the top!

i would like to see the rest of this build. wood is gorgeous together

is that carpet floor???

Yep

that is one beautiful V. i once owned a gibson V-2. walnut/maple/walnut/maple/walnut, with the boomerang pups. i loved the shape (scalloped edges, etc.)
