A few pictures of the weeks work.Still a bit to do but coming along nicely.Ted said that its difficult for the camera to capture the true colours of the wood but he will do some natural light shots next.

Wow, that is pretty outrageous. Beautiful, seems a little much for a Scot, maybe you would like to send it to the US, you know the land of extravagance and overindulgence!!! I can send you my address.

Not long now...Ted should be shipping guitar at the end of the month...meanwhile a little info on what's been happening...Ted has been busy in the spray booth and put on the last coat of lacquer on the 29th March...he then likes to let the guitar sit for 20 days to let the lacquer cure before final sanding and polishing...from then it's approx another 10 days or so for full completion...here are a couple of shots of the body in natural light.
