[QUOTE="K-Man, post: 900264, member: 531"] I was able to put the neck on last night. I have some sanding to do to get it down flush on the body - not much though. With the stain I will probably darken it just a tad. The mahogany one I saw last night was much darker and I really liked that. I doubt I'll go that dark, as I lean more towards keeping as close to the original as I can. The finish will be a gloss finish, sanded to at least 1500 grit, and then buffed. I'm also making a custom wood pickguard for it. I have already made one from the lacewood. This next one will be from the gabon ebony, which is a very black ebony. Then I'll groove a line around the border and fill it with genuine ivory. I've also made a couple of playing picks - one from the lacewood and one from genuine ivory. Here's a pic: [attach=full]70674[/attach] I plan on offering the custom wood pickguards and playing picks through our website. I've already received an order for a playing pick made from the ivory. I'll also be offering custom guitar straps. We now have access to a greater number of exotic skins, to include giraffe, zebra, fox, beaver, to name but a few. With those offerings, I hope to put us in a niche marketplace with respect to the accessories. [/QUOTE]
