Blackwood & Huon Guitar
That is magical, this I like I have been selling a lot of Huon pine the past year for guitar bodys both electric & acoustic plus for neck laminates for contrast in colour.

That is outstanding!.....
And my head I'd be a scratchin'

If I only had a brain.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I built this one for myself, it's never going to be sold. I'd rather part it out than sell it!

Thankyou. I plan to try spending a bit more time over on this forum, need some "off time" from building guitars and im hoping to get some ideas for other projects. Not really sure what I want to build, I just know I want it to be classy and have a purpose. With all that said I'll probably just build more guitars!

Very nice build Demonx , Really like the laminates . I too am a fan of the PPG , is this the Deltron 800?
I use it as base layers and then coat with nitro .
Keep up the great work , cheers Mark
