I did keep the scraps of the wood I used for the top & I've been experimenting... I'm almost thinking a nice brandy wine color might work out the best. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-xjv1C0WQ7Wc/UXVbfmIiwqI/AAAAAAAAAFo/71tlkgm7g-g/h120/IMG_0509%5B1%5D.JPG https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-q...

You guys have any input on a finish that would go well with a padauk fretboard? I was originally thinking an iced tea or honey burst would look good but I'm starting to think all blonde would be the way to go.

My first attempt at an inlay. Patience is proving to be the key with the fretboard... I've had to rebuild because I hurried through the first one...

Great to be here by the way! I've watched this forum for a long time with the big dreams of building guitars. Truly inspirational stuff on here!!

It's a Gerber Sabre. Great for two dimensional stuff, but I've had to get really creative with jigs and such for any angled stuff.

Here's some more pics...

I guess I forgot to mention that it's not quite finished yet... But I'm really happy with how it's coming together.

This is my first guitar build. I gotta say, I'm HOOKED! I've been researching this for quite a while and learned a lot from reading these forums.
