Hi guys, i told you i have a brother in law who is a luthier. Well just wanted to post proof that he is one, this is one of his builds.
It is quilted maple, with a one piece body and neck,(yes one piece!) twin active humbuckers, all cts pots, and he moulds and shapes the body and neck from scratch.

If i had the money i would of bought it, although he lent it to me for 6 weeks...Drool.
Wow that's stunning! Just borrow it permanently. You're family after all. ;)
Yumtown population me;)
I think i just messed myself.....scratch that, I very definitely just messed myself. That is utterly fabulous. The colour, the quilt, the lines just gorgeous. How did it feel to play?
What's the body and neck made of? Flamed QLD maple?
