Then it came time for the logo. Although my build is based on a specific branded guitar (am I allowed to say their name here?) I'm not trying to pass it off as one. At first I designed a logo using my surname in their typestyle, but aesthetically it didn't work; it literally didn't fit. So since this is inspired by the Halcyon Les Paul, I just went with Halcyon.

Using a rotary tool with 1/32" bits, a jeweller's saw, various files, X-Acto blades, a few hours and Dog Day Afternoon on in the background (I have no idea why I remember that), I ended up with this

Rad, I'm a bit fan of clever headstock logos and metal work- Edit- whoops just saw its celluloid. Still looks great. It took me many, many goes to get the Black Cherry Headstock right so don't feel bad

Re the amount of builds, I do have a big advantage having a workshop and tools and I also work from home...in that workshop, so if things are quiet in my day job I can wonder over and tinker on the build table.

Compared to building cars (my previous hobby) these are so much easier to work on and finish off.

(BTW Nice to see a Canuck on the forum, my Dad hails from Duncan B.C)

That's great that you have the freedom to tinker at times throughout the day, I could see how that could help!

Cars are another story, I do as much of my own maintenance as I can, but fabrication would be well beyond my skill set at this point.

I've never been to Duncan, but if it's in B.C. I'm sure it's beautiful.
