If you learnt that in one day, I need to know which day is mine to crack it as well! 

no! I'm not saying that I learned it in a day, but that in some moment of life you have to learn. 
It's not mean that we know all, life is a constant learn

Your fretwork is clean as glass these days. I agree that your 8-string is definitely something else.

Oi! Run Capy run! There's a string for a finger on both my hands, I wonder if there's someone who really can play interesting voicings using eight fingers?

tks!!

Hope you didn't really lost two fingers on a saw blade! 

The Baretta was finshed too! Enjoy

I do not forgot you guys, but january was crazy. So for this reason have a gap on the pics! 

Here the Capy guitar finished! Hope you like it!

Lovely! Using a local animal for inlay motif rhymes nicely with the local woods. Can you build more sustainably than that?

tks!!!! that's the whole idea!!

It looks like a capybara, everyone loves capybaras, the snout is too small to be a moomintroll, a fictional animal

I have to googleit to know what is a moomintroll. It looks a capybara instead, except by the nose!!! Maybe thats the owner's reference ... who knows LOL

there it goes! the capybaras!!!

Thanks Guys!! As soon as possible I'll post pics of entire finger board. Workin on it rigth now!

The custom inlays from 8 strings. 

It was laser cutted on finger board, a piece of Pau-marfim and black acrilyc. The assembly was made with epoxy resin to glue and fill the spaces left by laser width between the little parts. 

Let's go again! New two projects on the bench. A Kramer Baretta, and my very first 8 strings! On both guitar I'm using brazilian spicies: Marupá body (baretta), Ceddar body with Flamed Pau-Marfim top (8s), Pau-Marfim necks and Purple Heart (8s)/Pau-Marfim (baretta) fingerboards. 

DHP 27 stainless frets and gotho tuners on both. Gotoh Floyd Rose on the Baretta, Nova Guitar Bridges on 8 string. Customy (brasilian pickup boutique) f-space pickup and Tesla M3. 

Basiclly that.

Baretta

8 Strings

tks guys!

In fact the burst on the black one was customer's choice. He wanna see the wood grain, but in a moderate way. It came at shop and I will do it progressively till he said: thats it stop it!

The V-burst one (and yes I lovo photography lol)

The Darker one: 

And both 7strings are finished! Hoppe you enjoy!

More updates!

The pieces of wood look really nice - will look amazing once finished. Are you planning a gloss finish?

It gonna be matte PU both!

Interesting colour schemes and designs, nice work all round!

Tks!!

More two projects in progress. Two seven strings fanned fret (25,5 to 27'') almost twins, it have a little difference on the body outline.
Basicly local species. Ceddrar for bodies, Freijó for tops, Pau-marfim for necks and rosewood for fingerboards.
DHP 27 inox frets, Tesla AH71 pickups, Nova hardtail alluminum bridge. PU mate finish with black vertical burst.

Sorry about a lot of pics!

And it's done! Love the final result. Both tuning systems works very well.

Yup, reminded me of some vines or somesuch.

it means a  change of  owner's life, that's the reason for white and green

Great ideas for the finish. Love the "foliage".

Tks! Foliage you refering to the white/green headless?

Oh, I LOVE that.

The green on the back of the neck kinda reminds me of this one I did in 2018.

Beautiful burst, really dig the transitions and the colors.

Also the color match on the back between the neck and the body are also very attractive.

Thanks!!!! You refering to the finish on headless neck back? There's no green on it. Think that was a ligth effect on trapezoid neck shape.
