On this Axe I thought I would go with a Gleaming front and rustic Mahogany back so I have gone light on the sanding on the back of body and butt of the neck.Want to try and get that well played sort of look and due to all the glue that was there I thought I would maybe use it to an advantage.
Hi Jarrod,
The burning sun on the top looks awesome, and contrasts well with the Mahogany. I love how it highlights the flame maple! Is this where you are putting the Tru-Oil? How about a couple of pictures so we can see how it's going? Love the headstock shape too.
cheers,
Gav.
