The "Fire Guitar"!
 
A Year ago I made a Dread to my friend in Switzerland! We named the guitar "Liz"
Side and Back wood was Lovely Quilted Maple. Just like Flames of Fire!

Now I prepare for a twin! I have a "twin-set" of this Maple! This twin of Liz will not be identical in shape, so maybe my Slope Shoulder Dread size would be a good alternative.

If someone have ideas and is prepared, Donīt hesitate on this next one!

Beautiful
 
I love quilted woods. I'm looking for that quintessential set for a build right now.

That is definitely the coolest pattern I've ever seen on a guitar. Must be beautiful in person. Looks great! I want to see the twin :D

Quintessential Quilted Maple set? That might be difficult to find. "Deformations" like this occure rarely in young trees.

Your colouring is both unique and outstandingly beautiful. Great work.

Great looker!
How about naming the guitar "The Rorschach" ?

This looks like my dream guitar for song writing...on the porch, glass of beer...strumming away...

Such a gorgeous dread!

Wow! Somebody call the Fire Dept. That thing is on fire. Beautiful guitar!

Bautiful job of shading to bring out the flame.

Outstanding!

The headstock is winking at me. I think that means I need to own it.

Yes, agree with TAMCO - you've done a wonderful job with the coloring to bring out the flames. Stunning! You are a marvellous luthier, Olav!!
