the blue is much deeper Oli, well done, have you gone a darker edge by the looks ? I think darker edges looks great. Look forward to updates

no worries Oli, carry on, a dark to blue burst will look very cool with the quilt top

Done.
Now the custom inlays. And scraping the bindings. And lacquering. And electronics. And the setup.
Hmm. This is going to take me some time

looks great Oli, bit hard to see the pics are quite dark. I love the look of your man cave !
What are the custom inlays you got planned ?

The guitar is to be named Eleonore, like my daughter, so I'm cutting a headstock logo in MOP for it. On the body there will be another customized inlay, made out of several scraps of noble metals (gold, silver, platinum, ...). That one is currently being manufactured by a jeweler (my sister in law). I have no idea what it will look like but she makes insane stuff (see here if you're interested: https://www.facebook.com/ejuweelier.be).
cool the plans sound like a nice touch. Good luck with the inlays
