Mockup

the final product will resemble this, minus kahler and ebony skunkstripe

as for progress so far, i have ordered a 27" , 28 fret gabon ebony fretboard from Eriks Fretboard Extravaganza hahaha

when that arrives, i will finish the neck up and route the body for a neck pocket, and get this thing glued up.

only things i have left to buy are some tuners and a flame top, which i should be getting within the next month.

so there it is, i appreciate all critism, but please do take into acount that this work is extremely rough and nowhere near what the final product will be,

thanks
