oh sweet baby beegeezus, want!

Wow that is one unique guitar

Holy heck, you just keep outdoing yourself. That certainly is one beautiful and unique piece of craftsmanship

Out of curiosity what’s your reasoning for the holes? Are they purely aesthetic or do they serve a purpose? Well done

That's a stunner. Love the top on it, and the hardware looks cool in black. Smart appointments, with the upside down jack and string-through headstock.

Impressive.

purely aesthetic....

Wow. Cool.

...and here I am, pleased as punch because I just made a rudimentary bookshelf for my daughter.

Good grief, man! Exceptional skills.

What's the finish? Tru-oil?

I love how you're doing something so different to everything else out there Lawrence!

Nice. Any sanding between coats, etc?

Would it be fair to say Crimson influence your designs aswell?

Looks hot!

Not design… I did my body shape before I discovered Crimson.
I have learned heaps from his channel, but my process is different. It’s a mix of everything I’ve seen online and read.
Still learning and aiming for better…

There are subtle body shape changes as I’ve modified my templates and now I don’t route by body shape - I bandsaw and use an oscillating sander (it’s safer)

Necks are a challenge for consistency.

I hope I never stop chasing the goal!
