Nice veneer! When the work on the binding is finished I'd suggest to lacquer her (trans)blue! :wink: :D :D

Thanks! This one isnt getting blue.....its gonna be a clear grain, black burst.... Very natural look.... My quartersawn oak one will be getting the trans blue...LOL and possibly a 24fret neck from the vendetta i just picked up.... Pretty darn nice neck...quilted maple with a rosewood fretboard.... Its tempting...LOL

got the first layer of finish down on the guitar...went on a bit heavier than i wanted, but the best grain of the whole piece is still showing, so its all good... and yes, thats a pearl flake in there...Image

really makes the creme bindings pop, alongside the abalone
