That's a beautiful one. Guess I should have waited to reply earlier...didn't realize there were more pictures you were about to post. WOW! It's practically finished

Hi Mau,

Wow, that is some beautiful wood going into that guitar! And the inlays look really lovely! How cool is that to see your name on parts of that guitar!??! I will be very anxious to see what this looks like when it's done. I'm sure it's going to be stunning.

Gorgeous, Mau...love everything about it!

Joe,

Love the new guitar, as you are going for a vintage look, may I suggest that you look at a greven tortoise 50s style pick guard. It may look really cool!

Best,

Keyshore

Hi Glenn,

It will be really cool if I ever need a neck reset...

It will be an outstanding pair of SJs. Also reminds me I don't have a car right now... LOL

Thanks, Bill.

I'm really anxious to see how that BRW is going to turn out under finish. It is already quite colourful.

Hey Keyshore,

Not sure where Jim sources his pickguards but I'm already ahead of you and have asked him for a quote to replicate the following faux tortoise pickguard:



Same concept except with abalone shells. And I would probably want the monkey to look on the right rather than on the left (for good luck).

I may skip the idea if it turns out to be too expensive but that's what's on the drawing board right now.

You're keeping the monkey?!

Cheers,

The Olson-typical pickguard will look great in those black and white videos of yours. No comment on the monkey business

[JoeCharter]

Yes, the pickguard and inlay would look terrific in B&W.

Flipped it for you Mau.
