White room photos
Anyone who has followed Tony Ferguson's finishing knows that the white room photos means that the guitar is moving forward and the finishing is nearing completion. These photos show only the first coat of clear.
Hey John...how's that neck coming along???

Well, we're starting to pick up some momentum again. I actually think we're coming down the track to the station soon. Here's a photo I didn't post before, but I like a lot.
The neck is next and has actually already had some progress. I'll post pictures when time permits.

What a beaut!
Tony Ferguson is certainly a finish wizard. It will righ like a bell, I am sure. Nice work again John!!! Happy anniversary Mike and your wife too. I can not believe you have been without a Kinnaird so long, after having your quiver! I am sure you are ready to RUMBLE!!! Cheers Paul

Here's the beginning of the headstock and neck. John decided to use some pretty sweet Bois D'rose for it (which is what the binding is) and to make it beveled. I think John has done a great job so far and it is good to see this coming along.

That Bubinga looks AMAZING!
We have over 75,000 sq. ft of Bubinga/Kawazinga veneer but none with the sap wood like this. Cannot wait to see and hear the finished guitar.

What a gorgeous build John! That Bubinga is spectacular too! Fun to bend the sides?

More progress! Here are a few pics of the neck and fretboard. John created some side markers out of bone and also created a nice touch at the 12th. These were ideas I wanted to implement and we worked on together but John gets the credit for the design specifics and of course his awesome craftsmanship. The frets are gold EVO.
The symbol on the headstock is Chinese for "destiny". My wife's Mother was raised in China in a missionary family. Additionally my youngest daughter (age 9) is also Chinese. So you could say that this symbol and the word "destiny" both have some significant meaning within our family heritage.

Nice side markers!
Mike I really like the nice clean simple and highly VISIBLE side FB markers!!!
John sent me a pic too and I will have similar side markers. But I will have the slot diamonds on the FB as well. When I lay the axe down for lap slide normal side markers do me no good at all... I figure that is why Dobros and Nationals and weissenborns have so much inlay ! You are going to be rockin soon! Good for you!!! Yay team Paul
