Thanks Simon. Yeh I was on the fence about the fret markers for quite a while but decided that for this particular one I wanted as little as possible disrupting the Sheoak medullary rays.
Yep the only things left to go on are the strings and string trees. I knew from the beginning that this was going to be a light guitar because the Cedar was quite light even before I cut the body shape out. From a weight perspective it would make a really nice gigging guitar for someone, however the downside is that the timber is also a bit softer than I would like which means it would get knocked around a bit. Although to be fair my Gibson SG Faded is exactly the same, you basically just look at the body and it gets little dents.
That is a great looking guitar. Well done.
That's beautiful!
I know you said earlier that you won't play it much, but I hope it inspires you to pick it up more than just once in a while!
Hats off to you, Sir. Superb.
