The guys from S-T will know what is going on here as I have posted about doing these since 2019. I was commissioned to mod a guitar with a new refin and inlaid Challenge coins from the PD that I work for. I normally do these for charity but I was asked to do one for an individual that wanted on to hang on the wall as a way to display some challenge coins that were designed to commemorate the KC Chiefs SB wins.

these are fun to do but they do take some time and a pretty good amount of testicular fortitude to cut holes all the way through the body and headstock to display both sides. It will also be finished in the official team colors of the KC Chiefs.

On Saturday, I started by cutting the headstock to fit the coin designed after the meme worthy Jason Kelce moment at the Chiefs/Bills game in the snow.

Then yesterday, I cut the body to fit the Arrowhead shaped coin for the Super Bowl LVIII win.

These two were the hardest and most intricate cuts I will have to make on this one.

Way cool bro, that headstock cut is sweet, that had to be a bit tense. It would look cool even without the little guy in it.

Thank you!! There is always a pucker factor to it but after a while, it isn't all that bad. I have found that as long as I do it before the final finishing then it isn't that bad. Mistakes can be repaired. The ones that get really hair raising is when a change is made after the paint is shot. Now, that will really test your stamina. LOL

I'm gonna love this thread!
 
Got home from work and went to the lab to make some more sawdust today. Today's cutting was relatively easy compared to yesterday and Saturday, though. Both coins for Super Bowl LIV & LVII are round making it quite simple.

If you look closely you can see the ridge that they will be resting on when I glue them in.

Now, I'll have to round over the edges and use some grain filler inside the cutouts a you can see pretty clearly in the second Pic.
I haven't decided yet but I'm thinking about putting some LEDs in it somehow.
For right now it will have to rest a bit while I wait on the newest coin to come in. That one is for Super Bowl IV.
