These neck pictures were from June, just before my doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. Sorry I forget to get this going sooner. This is a little like a timewarp, because here's your guitar today: After the inlay, the amber tint you added will go on in spray. Hope you like how it's shaping up. 5stringho Intermediate Member Username: 5stringho Post Number: 154 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Friday, November 09, 2007 - 6:02 pm:    WOW! Lookin' SCHWEEEEET!

The inlays give it a very elegant look. Nice! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 6041 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, April 16, 2009 - 7:23 pm:    A medallion inlay later: and a finishing paw print on the first fret: And this "puppy" is back in spray. Just needs about 3-4 more coats of finish, final cure, rubout then setup. tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 1023 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Thursday, April 16, 2009 - 7:39 pm:    Holy smokes.
