holy cow Wokka, this gets better every time I look - that last shot of the body is really nice. I love the super cool natural racing stripe!

Lovely body Wokka - uh, the guitar's that is... :-P Blackwood is a wonderful local timber and one I've thought of using one day when I have enough skills to be let loose on a valuable slab of tone-wood. :-) A shame it gets wasted on furniture I reckon!
yer cheers John, yes it is beautifull timber to work with and on the eye. The fingerboard is also tassy blackwood. Not many axes have the same wood fingerboard and body !

Looks nice Wokks but on all the pics the bridge looks like its a mile out to the neck?
@ Jarrod all good mate, the neck wasn't straight in the photos and I haven't drilled the neck holes yet, I'll do that once the strings are on ! No need to be alarmed !

lol....
Looking great. It looks like a cross between an Ibanez RG and S, which is the way to go (IMO). RG's body thickness gives its great fat tone and S's curves give it the great playing comfort, so a design like yours is truly genius.
more pics please!!!
