It's not for sale, I just thought it deserved to be shown. My brother built this for a man in Delaware.
The body is Walnut and Pecan.

| Really beautiful ! Gorgeous. Personally, I do not care for the positioning of the vol and tone controls, however it is a fine piece of workmanship. |

Walnut & Pecan? 
What is he, nuts??!?!?!
(sorry)
If he'd used maple there'd be a syrup gag right there.
Beautiful work though!

Love it!
Really nice.
I especially like the detail where he let in the end of the keyheads at the neck. Did he machine the keyheads and bridge, or adapt them from something store bought? |

Don, I believe he bought the hardware from Scotty's Music. I'm not real sure but I seem to remember him sayin that. He does nice work. He has built guitars, basses, harps, and steels.
