This build is developing into one heck of a fine guitar. The Dragons claw headstock is a smart tasteful move, something I think would also look great on an Elan Europa or Rogue.

Ay, carumba, what a beauty. That burl on the front looks like an owl swooping out of the sky. Yum. :-)

Everyone sees the wings in the buckeye. I've decided they have to be dragon's wings.

The Greek symbol caduceus (two snakes wrapped around a winged staff) is commonly associated with the messenger of the gods. In Roman iconography the caduceus was often depicted being carried in the left hand of Mercury, guide of the dead and protector of merchants, shepherds, gamblers, liars, and thieves. The caduceus is also a recognized symbol of commerce and negotiation, two realms in which balanced exchange and reciprocity are recognized as ideals. This association is ancient, and consistent from the Classical period to modern times. The caduceus is also used as a symbol representing printing, again by extension of the attributes of Mercury (in this case associated with writing and eloquence).

Dark Star Approaches(red)
with giant Nibiru, its 7th Planet

As Nibiru cuts through our solar system in retrograde motion to the other planets it performs its various duties such as displacing or replacing planets and causing general havoc in the process. Its passage is momentous but short taking only a few weeks or months at most, after which it dissapears from view. It is fiery red in color with a debris-filled tail, and circling it are a number of moons which it sometimes uses as weapons to pound other planets. Nibiru or its moons were responsible for such feats as the destruction of Maldek and other planets which are now asteroid belts; the craters or surface scars on the Moon or planets of our solar system, as well as their varying axial tilts and orbits; the sinking of Atlantis and Noah's Flood; and God knows what else. It is the physical link or "ferry" between our solar system and the dark star system.

Nibiru, the Winged(or Horned) Disc

I'll check, but it's not likely that I can locate the exact scrap since it's been a while since we did the assembly. Let you know what I find.

Saw this instrument at the shop. My wife's favourite top. It certainly is incredible in the flesh.

p.s. sorry I didn't reply to your email john. My mailbox has filled while I've been over here and I'll not be able to empty it till I get back to work.

Great custom logo! And I'm guessing Erik will only be able to work part time in the art department while he's finishing up school; so Mica and Susan are probably going to be doing at least some of the work until then.
