I meant to start your thread ages ago.  

 

  These neck pictures were from June, just before my doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. Sorry I forget to get this going sooner.  This is a little like a timewarp, because here's your guitar today:

 

  After the inlay, the amber tint you added will go on in spray. Hope you like how it's shaping up.

WOW! Lookin' SCHWEEEEET!  The different flames and quilts really look good. She should sound BRIGHT, Too!!
 
Enjoy !   Mike    (the 'Ho)

thanks mica..looks great..psyched to see the inlay, bevel, tint and medalion when we get there

Incredible top and back Tom.  That's going to be a great looking guitar!
Play it healthy!
Art

thanks Art...can't wait to get my mitts on it

Tom:
 
Further with amber tint and bevel.  Obviously a man of impeccable taste.  You've got a real beauty shaping up here.  Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for the inlay and medalion.  Enjoy the ride.
 
Bill, tgo

That's a really nice quilt!

Mica...does your mom have a sketch of the first fret inlay?...I know that she is working on the medalion as we speak

Here's the fretboard inlays in place:

  A couple up close:

 

Beautiful inlays!!!

What a stunning guitar!

thanks for the posting Mica...the inlays look terrific!

Wow.  The inlays give it a very elegant look.  Nice!

A medallion inlay later:

  and a finishing paw print on the first fret:

  And this "puppy" is back in spray. Just needs about 3-4 more coats of finish, final cure, rubout then setup.

Holy smokes.  I know it's been a L-O-N-G build process, but that is an absolutely stunning guitar and the inlays are incredible
