Looks pretty sharp. I like the 2 different colors for the body and head and fretboard. What scale size did you use? Also, were did you get the tuner head?
She's a beaut.

Thank's Paul
the Scale is 24 1/4 and I got the head stock form Dwyane Marrs years ago. The lower part is Red Mahogany and the top is Birdeye Maple. Made from left over wood from other projects. Making it was easy now I have to learn to play it. My POOR WIFE's ears

I've been trying to learn for 9 months at least and boy do I suck. I moved all my stuff up to the living room around May or June. I found it to darn depressing in the wreck room. Had to turn on the lights while the sun was shining outside, big mistake, wife is glad to see the end of summer and has offered to help me move my stuff down stairs for the winter. What does that tell ya?

Would your wife like a larger CRAFT ROOM instead of the room you Wrecked down stair ( It worth a shot).
We live in a one story home my next move will be to the work shop (my DOG house) so I think I'll try to be nice to my wife.
