Finised my most recent non amp project.

Great work. Plus one on the details.

What clear coat technique did you use?

[passfan]

Here are some build pics at another site. Finish is vintage amber in an alchohol stain and a nitro clear. Flash coated the nitro for the pore buildup and then flatsanded and buffed.

If I found a magic bottle with a genie and he gave me one wish, I'd wish I could do that.

Man you built the neck and everything!

I so want to do that but with a part time wood shop (kitchen table) it is difficult to even consider it.

I love seeing stuff like that.

Since you guys dig this stuff here's a peek at the next one in line. The firebird. The whole center block is a neck through 1 piece with the top and bottom blocks glued on

Outstanding Passfan! Moderne/Futura are my all-time favorite pointy guitars. Maybe someday....for now I still have my Ibanez Moderne copy from 1974.

Nice start on the FB too!

Is that Firebird a Korina center with Mahogany wings? What will you use for the pickups?

[passfan]

The center is a maple top and mahogany bottom , just like a les paul. I have a set of patent stamped Gibson humbuckers from the 80's , pre burstbucker.
