    Kuro's "country" 7/8 Tele

    Funny that you say that, I did feel the black burst could've been just a bit smaller around the outside edge. In person it's fine though. I also thought the girl could've used a light airbrushed edge all the way around her to make her pop. I had her masked off when I shot the edge burst and...

    Kuro's "country" 7/8 Tele

    So I play with this country band. I decided I wanted to try out the 7/8 guitars. The bass player asked if I could build a guitar that we could use as the album cover for the new CD. So of course, give any of us a reason to build a guitar and we'll do it right? So I got a chambered 7/8 Tele with...

    Mermaid requested guitar

    Hey guys, I haven't posted for a bit. But I have been a bit busy and I thought I'd share this monstrosity with you all. Let me start by saying that this guitar was not my idea. I was asked to build this by our singers wife, or for her sister actually. Who plays guitar. She requested just about...

    Non Warmoth PVX semi hollow double cut

    Thanks guys! Yes, It was cut with a scroll saw before I glued the back on. That is the liquid masking tape. It turns clear when dry but I snapped the pic before it was all dry. I love it for doing stuff like this. You can put it on thick and sand right up to it or even on it a little bit and...

    Precision SG Non Warmoth build

    Thanks, I honestly had the same thought run through my head. But since it was going to be his guitar and not mine I didn't want to make that call. Thank you, It is a modded JR. the precision sit doesn't seem to have the standard SG. If I had to do it again I think I'd order it without the neck...
