Thanks you too Dave! It was some work, but I love endgrafts (even if it is not the first thing the musician will see)

After a long absence, I am happy to say that the guitar is in my finisher workshop and that they are working on it.

Nice. I like the touch of Wenge under the heel cap.

Really handsome, Ben.
Ryan beat me to it, but I also think that bit of Wenge peeking out from under the heel cap is a clever touch. Your customer will smile every time that is seen.

Hey Steve, thanks for the kind words!

The guitar is pretty sober, so I added little touches of fantasy in it. It fit with sides, and the endgraft, my customer is very happy, yes.

I will receive the guitar from my finisher at the end of the month, I am impatient to assemble it

Thanks Dave!

My finisher has been super busy with the Vancouver Guitarshow so, he started to work on my guitar yesterday. Here are the pics of the sealer coats:

Clear coats on the neck are done, still a lot of work on the body
