Default Wow!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Tony!

Every time I think it couldn't get any better you raise the bar! I love your choices of pearl and abalone on the Angel. It looks fantastic! I can't believe that stereo microscope for the detail on the face! The detail on the angel's hair is impressive!!! those are some tiny little pieces you have cut out. I can't wait to see it finished.

The detail drives me crazy...
Angel for sure...

So...I finished the inlay today. I did the face separate. In the event of a fatal error while engraving the face it would have been difficult to dig it out if it was already inlaid. Faces are very difficult...I didn't want her to look disfigured which is very easy to do.... So the face went in last after I was satisfied with the engraving.



Now I'll engrave a little on the fingerboard.

I was counting up the hours on the headstock....28 or so...


I finished up the neck profile today. I also added a little something to the heel cap. So I have one more thing to do to the neck....I'll try to post another pic very soon. I really appreciate the patience.

Hello friends, I have finished all the wood working regarding the body and neck. I have always done my own finish work so I will now proceed to the spray booth.
I still have to make the bridge and truss rod cover but those will be made later. I am also tossing around some ideas about the tuners....

I hope you enjoy the photos!

This has to be one of the most intricate, detailed, and beautiful guitars ever seen on the AGF. The carvings look incredible.
