Oh man! I love claro walnut, super nice job!
Very interesting design (especially cool headstock) and well executed, and great finish.
Can you share what finish you used?

Hey, Jonathan, it's a great looking guitar. Lots of nice design features throughout, giving it great visual appeal.
I think the back of the headstock with its hand stop is especially sculptural and appealing. Who wouldn't want to own a beauty like this? It's excellent.

thanks everyone for the compliments and comments

rob- I use a pre cat polyurethane finish, i simply finish sand the whole guitar with 220 grit. then i spray a coat of shellac, and pore fill with CA. I repeat that step until i have a smooth surface and there are no longer any pores. Then i shoot 3 wet coat of polyurethane, level sand, then shoot 3 more coats, wet sand, and straight to buffing!

steve- the black is just the shadow from the sunlight!
