cowboy guitar

maple

bookmatched fully quilted maple guitar top

intended for the ricky pictured below

sid - one of two guys older than I am - w/ his blue psuedo les paul

blue in a lighter shade is definitely an option for the top

should look like water

under the quilt

so I've got this bitching piece of bookmatched quilted maple

and thinking of using it to do something like this...

wrock school again

doing a lion tamer in the squirrel cage

removing glue

fun stuff

we fought with this for daze...

look at the loony tune in the background

in the booth

shooting a guitar

an axe and a label evolved and evolving

getting this ready to shoot

gonna paint it wet fart brown w/ a dookie burst
note the coolasfuck von zipper shades
and hat hair

the final and hundredth iteration of this thing

it's done and glued into the back of the acoustic

which means the acoustic box is going together soon

should be gluing the back to sides en la manana

wrock on

as usual more pics than words

ready to carve braces

go bar deck gluing

last two braces glued in place

fitting the back inlay is a pita

another instructor extraordinaire

steve ("steve-o"- I don't call him that) davis

demoing gibson neck joint
bore epoxy and carbon fiber rod reinforcement

bound guitar dry fit for neck glue

everything must be dressed right dressed and covered down

dotting i's and crossing t's
