Drake Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 purple and red look pretty good too. Please for the love of god make the darker section of the inlays sound holes with thin cream binding. I know it'll be a an ass to do but by Christ will people instantly ejaculate when they see it.

hooglebug Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 that would be pretty much impossible to do by hand. they're going to stay being fake binding im afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 or just oiled wood inner which you mask off from the stain/paint layer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 thats what fake binding is if im getting you. like the natural binding on prs's and others like them. if you mean so you see the back then yes you will anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simno Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Lovely work mate, I'd still add a few more flowers to the cluster, just for balance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil. Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 what the phuck that's amazing is that mother of pearl inlaid? how did you do the shading? Also, i've never understood how people take photos of guitars etc. resting on stone and rock n shit, i'd be too scared of damaging it, even if you DO put it down really reeeeeeally carefully..

hooglebug Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 Lovely work mate, I'd still add a few more flowers to the cluster, just for balance.. i dont knowwww. im gonna try photoshopping a few things to see. and phil - its pink mother of pearl. the falling petals have white mop bits on one edge but you cant really see it in the pics. and the shading is done by engraving it and rubbing a filler over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooglebug Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 yeah. i didnt think there was anything wrong with it before but when i put them on it looked better. needed a fresh perspective i guess. also iv decided that the shading on the petals is crap so im gonna try sand it out and do it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherb^Mo Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Very very nice, I don't dig fancy inlays myself but for what it is, its super duper attractive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 have sanded all the etching off and cut and glued in the two new flowers. tomorrow i'll try to etch a bit better! these two new flowers look a lot pinker than the others. maybe the pink gets sanded off which is a shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Oh you are having this one? or at least, might be? yeah, most likely. i've pretty much decided on the specs, but am still not sure about some other things (finish and some other details) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil. Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 The red/black bursty finish from the previous page looks soooooooooooooooooooo good, I would go with that myself, probably satin rather than gloss, but then, Im not an enormous fan of gloss finishes myself.
