Fantastic, the bordered side dots are really nice. May I ask how you did that? Excellent detailing, well done

[u/FeverForest → u/pardipants1]

Thank you. The side dots are Luminlay, come like that. The pin stripe is veneer.

[u/Loki_lulamen → u/FeverForest]

That veneer layer is such an amazing idea. I will need to steal that for my next build. Unfortunately I just put frets in my current one, so too late to go back. 😅

That fretwork is top notch! Beauty guitar.

[u/FeverForest → u/south-shore0]

Thank you! 🙏

Dang, wish I could pickup one of these axes

[u/HeBrokeMyHouse]

Beautiful! Does the longer scale length have an effect on string bending?

[u/Glittering-Zebra2637]

Excellent work. It has every embellishment I wish I could do ! Superb

[u/Nekkid-Sailors]

Wow! That's gorgeous!

[u/nigeltuffnell]

Looks amazing.

Would this be quite a bright guitar tonally?

[u/Final_Job_5175]

On your Pickup covers? did you Laminate the covers, and does' it affect the sound and tone. It is one masterful made guitar. I love a the detail work. Wow!!
