Nice work Cagey.  Understated yet stunning.

 

[Fat Pete]

Congratulations Kevin! Simple, stylish and very classy. The white pickups were a good choice.

 

[Cagey]

Thanks all!

The color scheme changed over time (project started in 2013), as different parts came and went around here. For instance, I had a bound roasted Maple neck on it to start with. Looked nice, but the black seemed a better contrast to such a light blue.

A well deserved win to Cagey!  Very nicely done.

I just noticed that when you click on Cagey's excellent guitar in the upper right-hand corner, it links to the August submissions thread, not September.

 

[Cagey]

I don't understand. I didn't have a submission in August. How can this be?

Hey! This forum is defective!​

 

[Guitarsan]

Congrats, gotta love a flamed neck.

 

[DangerousR6]

Congrats Kevin, it's about time you finished that one... ccasion14:

 

[Cagey]

Hehe! Thanks! I know I was surprised when I pulled out the neck plate - December 2013? - how in the hell has that much time passed?

That's not the procrastination award winner, though. I've got a Strat project that's still in pieces that got started in 2009.

For Outstanding Putting Off Until Tomorrow​

You've been around long enough that you might remember it - that's the one where I did the chemical coloring with potassium dichromate? I'm not as happy with the burst as I was when I did it. Too big around the edges. By the time you put a pickguard on it, you essentially lose the burst altogether. Gonna have to redo it, but it's too late in the year now for that sort of activity. Finishing season is done.

One of these days...
