I'm impressed with the design and how well it looks. I'm a huge fan of Japanese style art and their tattoos. I'm blown away by the death and detail of the tooling on freakin 1oz. leather. Blown away i tell ya. Nice Job !!!!

**turns to the rest of the forums** Hey did you see that ? And that's on 1oz. leather ? Yeah, 1oz. ... Yeah, i know , it freakin rocks, rite !!

I am blown away by the "death" of it also!!! :head_hurts_kr: Sorry could resist, I am just giving crap Freak!! It is great work!!

Frog,

Absolutely beautiful. I like the way you let the design be interrupted by the pickups and such. If this isn't your best work, it is close. What are the dye/stain plans?

Very very cool. I, too, like the way it runs through the slots and how you went minimalist with the use of space. I would have tried to put more in there and probably cluttered it all up. You did a great job. And on 1 oz leather too. Very impressive.

OK, here is the finished piece...... BUT, I put a micrometer on the calfskin and I was wrong, it is 1.5 oz. Sorry, please don't be mad! :surrender:

The finish is Eco-Flo Range Tan with a coat of Super Sheen, then Eco-Flo Med Brown Antique Gel finished off with a couple of hand rubbed coats of good ol neet lac to keep it safe!

That looks great.

What color is the guitar?

Do you glue it on or just screw it on?

Folks, I saw this one in person this morning and it's GORGEOUS.

What Froghunter neglected to say is that he did that in about 5 hours.

(Froggy, I'll come by for that $20 later this week.) B)

Froggy,

Bro, first off, very cool work.... if I owned an ax... I would love that to adorn it...

Secondly..... My bro brought me his bass a few months ago so i could replace the internal electronics... everything, the pickups, the rheostats, the jack, everything, and putty up the old holes in the wood and drill new ones to fit a new pick guard he brought. I still have it sitting here because I have been waiting for a part since he dropped it off... but... me being a leather freak, I offered to do some leather work for it... and he promptly turned me down reasoning that he has "burned" himself on the finish when playing, and figured that leather would have more friction than the smooth finish and pick guard and would cause worse burns.... makes sence...

Have you gotten to talk to you buddy about the pick guard? Would you ask him about this for me please. This is going onto a rhythm guitar, not a bass right? I dont think there would be much difference but I dont play either so i would not know.

I see you pre made the holes for the screws, are you going to use conventional flush mount screws to mount this? or something different?

Thanks bro.
