These things are turning out gorgeous!

Actually, that would be fucking killer.

That would be exceptional.

Progress is being made. Tinted lacquer on 2 and clear on the other (not pictured).

Any ideas on colors for it?

Thanks! I'll probably just clear coat it, or slightly tint it with amber.

Damn that's hot. Though personally I'd prefer the body to be orange rather than natural.

you just gave me a bonar. i love you....
it may just be the picture but it looks like the strings are right on the edge of the neck.

Thanks!

Pens: the other bass is tinted pretty dark, but I like this one more natural.

Robog: with the strings its a mix of "its the picture" and "I need to cut new slots in the bridge"

hotrod: probably not, with any luck I can sell it before we leave
