Peter - those are really, really nice. I love your use of color for the fret position markers!!
I'm getting really antsy to get my shop back in operation (it's been torn up in a year-long basement make-over) so I can get back to work on my first solid-body which is about half finished. These guitars are an example of why I'm so stoked to continue this project, and already have plans (and am "sandbagging" materials) for a second when that one is finished. All of my furniture is arts-and-crafts style, which I love, but it's somewhat limiting. I'll see various techniques either in finishing, or embellishment that I'd love to try, but aren't compatible with arts-and-crafts style furniture. Guitars are a whole new ballgame.
