Welcome madmichael, and what a great first post!
Love the look of that redheart back. |
Thank you so much!! This is made by my friend. Got the redheart from ahix at ebay. ☺️

That inlay looks so Asian.
It's a very handsome guitar. |
That guitar looks well executed and is the evidence of a considerable degree of skill that your friend's possesses and that was certainly not a sophomore effort. Has he been building guitars for a few years now?

We bought the already inlaid fretboard from China. It's confirmed to be real ebony, though. Also, we are Asians. |

We are Filipinos, btw. I'm just lucky to have one of his prototype ones. Cost me well under 1,000$. Just about paid for the materials. |
What's your friend's name? I would love to talk to him about maybe getting a guitar built
