    I like it, but have you considered NOT adding fret wire? It would suck to see some fret wire put through such a nice inlay.

    Hey andy, if you're still not decided on guitar shape yet then you might take a look at this.
    http://www.warmoth.com/Guitar/Bodies...p_lacewood.jpg

    or maybe just try a simple explorer shape, it'd look pretty sweet.

    Go for a tele Such a nice shape. Maybe do something with the shape though?? cross the 2 together, bit of a tele with a carve top glued in neck and then the back of the neck carved away for hand access.

    could be something to think about??

    the tele is a nice shape,
    but personally i prefer a horn to hang my strap off....
    i noticed teles sit differently on my body than my ibanez and strat....

    im not sure if a tummy cut would change that much.... but i didnt really like the feel of the tele when playing standing up....

    ofcoure i will be doing some carving

    Gee Bob, I'd hate to think you're supporting plagiarism of other people's designs.

    G'Day Stu,
    I should ask Andy B, to also have a look at some of your designs.
    Not to worry Stu nearly everything we do some one else has done it before us.
    One way to fix this is come up with a new design and don't sell it, and show no one..
    Cheers Bob

    Andy, Lets have less talk about how many views your thread has had, and more building, Chop Chop.
    I am sure if I posted a photo of me in my Birthday Suit.
    Computers all around the world would crash with all the hits I would get,
    Thats why I don't do it, I don't want to make everyone jealous.
    Cheers Bob
