Fill the crack in the Walnut one with epoxy.

It was already repaired with a brass and epoxy mixture, then it was sprayed with lacquer months after. It is a full repair and is only cosmetic.

Thank goodness you got them both.
You totally needed 2 more guitars.
Let me know when you're ready to
add that extension to your house.
I'll come out and help you.
I'm a good cheerleader.

You are supposed to be making me feel better. Please try again.

I liked the double-cut body and style. Maybe that could be your next project Ray...better upper fret access and a cool look.

Whoa, that almost went in the wrong direction........

Ya gotta have a laugh from time to time ;-)

I did something bad. Make that 2 projects. I just dealt for the all walnut one too. They will be shipped together in a couple of weeks.

Gather around ladies and gents. Assuage the guilt and shame I feel please!

I'm so glad you did that.
Next time I want another guitar I'll point my wife at this thread and say "See I'm not as bad as Ray". Haaa haaa.
Seriously, congratulations you'll have hours of fun building both and we'll have hours of entertainment.

So can you tell my wife for me?

Sure, I'll point out the body maker was starving and it's actually an act of tax deductible charity on your part.
She being a compassionate person will say get that 3rd one as well.

All my annual medical tests and scans came out dead center perfect.

Great. Then you will be around to keep trying ... selfish.

That is a BEAUTIFUL axe indeed, maybe I am picking at nothing, I would think the string holes would follow the saddle bridge pieces.

It doesn’t really matter. If you look at string-through versions of the Flying V, you’ll find the string holes are arranged in a “V” shape behind the bridge.

Solid Walnut. Hardware is just there for example, but he is throwing in the blood wood pup rings

Sure! I will take it to the upcoming St. Patrick's day parade!

How does this pup combo look? I have a chrome rim I could put around the bridge if it would work better. It would be for one of the bodies that are the subject of the thread, not the gold guitar pictured.
