'First post.
Most of my other 350+ instruments since 1980 have been acoustic, but I ventured back into my long lost electric roots recently. Here are a few shots of a 3/4 'burst I made last year. 30 year old Clark county Tennessee maple, 20+ year old Honduras mahogany, 50+ year old Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with evo manolin fretwire. The edge profile of the maple was so nice, I decided to go bindingless. Pictured next to the cover of "The Beauty of the Burst" that I used for reference while finishing. I opted for a handrubbed finish and varnish as to let it age very fast. It is an absolute killer sounding little rockin' hoss of a guitar. I'll likely make a few more in full size this winter. Some of the folks over at the Knoxville luthier's group got a hands on look when I brought it over for the sunburst finishing workshop I gave a while back. Thanks for looking....
