Still need to make a truss rod cover and a little bit of wood to go on the tremolo where the cheap looking logo badge originally was, but other than that it's done. Oh, and I'm going to make a new nut from the pile of 1/4" brass sheet I scored last week.

Made the pickups myself, too.

Next one's starting in a few days.

Yeah, that's a damn fine looking instrument. You do commissions?

Not officially yet, I want to make a couple more for myself to iron some stuff out first.  I am making a body for a friend at some point this winter, though.

But I would definitely be down to talk about it, I'll PM you my email address since I'm not on here a ton lately.

Oh by the way, Ike, I've been toying with the idea for a couple years now of making a logo based on Louis Wain artwork to stick on guitars I make down the road, if I decide to go with something other than my signature or initials.
