The first guitar I’m building, in the early stages of finishing. Much more elbow grease has gone into it since this photo (2 weeks ago) and I’m still not done - but getting there! And yes there’s an obvious transition point from the dark to the fade. I’ve ... made some mistakes, and this is just one step along the way to fixing a number of them.
The pups were all sacked out on the couch very sweetly, so I had to get a picture.
I was heading upstairs at night in the dark on hardwood floor in my socks. And slipped. And hit my head. This was the next day I think; I had just applied some liquid bandage and my black-eye was just getting started.
The next pic is from a few days ago - my wife was having someone over so she asked me to fluff up the pillows on the front couch - the ones that are always flattened by the dogs getting a good view out the window for people and things to bark at. Not a minute after fluffing the pillows and wouldn’t you know it? Smooshed again.
And then on Martin Luther Kind Junior day, my dad & step-mom visited and brought me ANOTHER guitar kit - so suddenly I had two guitars being built from kits. This second one needs a bit more work - lots of drilling for pilot holes, and I’ve been trying to get that beautiful grain to pop.
