Insta-custom! Ok, not quite, but you get to see most of the show in one day since I collected a few images for you, but didn't get your public thread going until today. In assembly getting the shielding for the inside of the body done:  The above picture shows the inside of the Coco Bolo only. Prepped and ready for a coat of spray here:  Caught before prepping:  and just about finished with the final curing here:   The back is every bit as pretty as the front. Might be hard to see in the snapshot, but the back of the peghead is Coco Bolo. | ||

Just beautiful. I usually don't like coco bolo or tributes visually, but this is stunning. Play it in good health. | ||

I could see the back being mistaken for Koa, but it's Mahogany. Very nice Mahogany! | ||

That's awesome. I didn't think the Stage Tribute was a carved top - was that a special request on your part? I really love that back (and the front, actually)! | ||
