Here’s some looks at the inlay work.
Here Steve is carefully sawing out the 12th fret inlay from a mother of pearl blank. And then the whole composition. Head to the routing stone. A look at what’s left behind. And the overall peghead. This is a modified torch that Jeff designed from an existing pattern that we’ve used before. Just subtle changes, but enough to make it personal. Thanks for following. |

I continue to marvel at the amount of patience and the level of craftsmanship you guys have.
That headstock inlay and 12th fret are fantastic--great job!

Some more neck shots while the finish is being applied.
Laying out a K for the back of the headstock. Covered up in glue. All shined up. And a Gold EVO fretted neck. This will match the to be revealed tuners! Thanks for watching. |

Some final neck shots before lacquer:
A little scraper work. Using a contour gauge to check how the shape is progressing. And then a little color to help the neck match the body. Thanks! |

It is definitely growing on me...I have always read with a bit of amusement when people are waiting (and seeing!) their guitars being built and the anxious feelings fueled by the awesome craftmanship and beauty of the creation are unfolding...well, I feel it now!!
