We're all our own worst critics. I think it's gorgeous.
Does it stay in tune?
LMNO

That is really lovely.
Wow, man. That is aces.
:aaa:
I'd drop a pretty penny on that baby.
OOOOH PRITTY!
I'm not even a musician, and I think it's gorgeous!
Beautiful work.

Well, I guess the first thing to clear up is that I didn't make the neck, it was a B-stock neck that I brought back to health (cheaper that way :)). The body is solid walnut finished with danish oil, most of the carving on the body (apart from the scroll) came about through ergonomic considerations or spontaneous whims. It's got a Wilkinson wrap-around bridge, which I love, even though the intonation is a bit of a pain to set up.
Ermm... the pickups are from a semi-local guitar parts supplier, pretty much their cheapest humbuckers (around £20 each) and I was a little worried that they would sound it but thankfully, they really don't. Tone-wise, this is probably one of the nicest guitars I've ever played and doesn't seem to suffer from that characteristic humbucker muddiness. Also, the bridge pickup is coil tapped, so you can switch between humbucking and single-coil.
I think that's everything interesting :)

Oh, we can talk about that, yes. Unfortunately, at the moment, I'm pretty broke. But hell yes, when I can afford a new guitar I'll get a hold of you.
Lovely piece, RB!
This is what I've been working on recently, and also one of many reasons I have not been what one might call "active" of late.
It's made of walnut, rosewood and spalted ash, it's also electro acoustic. and PRETTY:

NOICE!!!!
Oh, that's beautiful...
Gorgeous!
thanks guys!
those are actually kinda shitty pictures, I might try and take a video tomorrow morning, 'cause finish gives this really nice kinda hologram effect, where the wood is different colours from different angles. Maybe I'll do a song too :P
Wow, that is sweet.
