More progress... and lots of finish prep

Here is the burst on the neck.

Black through reddish brown to amber. The trim was masked off for the color spraying, so the bloodwood is a nice and vibrant contrast to the black.



This is now under 2 coats of clear, so we can all breathe a little easier as it is unlikely that I'll sand through the color now. Whew.....

Here is the flamed mahoghany showing through the burst.

I had the guitar photographed the other day.
The headstock is furnished with matte black Rubner tuners with black pearl knobs. Rubner's tuners are designed and built in Germany and they are of exceptional quality.

Well,
I have let this thread hang for a while, but I think it's time to finish it up. I Delivered the instrument to J.R. at the Memphis guitar show in June. A few weeks later, J.R. and Holly came by to visit. It was awesome to share Colorado with you guys!

I am posting the final photos here one by one.
