i had this idea about two years ago but never really thought it would work. then avenger went and did something very similar (the swine!!) so at least i knew it would work.
this is what its going to look like
i havent got the wood for the top yet, but this is the back. its one piece rippled sycamore
this is the 12th fret inlay. its the kanji for sakura, which is what the guitar model is called and which is also japanese for cherry blossom. see what i did there? hehe
and here are all the pieces for the top and headstock. there are over 160 little pieces of pink mop, all cut by hand, and the branches are horn
