That show isn't far from reality imo. At my old house they fucking put housos all around us. man did i get in some fights that year. I ended up selling the house i got so tired of it.

yeah the colors turned out good thanks. its tiedie material but it sort of looks marbleized now.

Love the color so its all good LOL
At this point you could countersink it just be real careful.
Not rubbing it in my friend.

yeah thats would be a bit risky at this stage i think. i will just leave it as i have grown to like it and i think it will work well once its all together. Once i get around to doing the improved version of this build i will include a few extra details like that.

Thanks for the feedback tho i appreciate it.


Raph

I'm back. This has been an incredible amount of work. Since my last post i have worked on this almost everyday. To be honest it is wearing me out. I should have spent more time sanding/preparing the body before i started on the finish. I am chasing my tail like a mental dog.

I have gone overboard i know that much. The neck is completely covered but i will e bursting in paint around the back up to the neck heel and pp the inside of the horns to clean up the joins.






I decided on Virtus as the logo name ''Latin for virtuoso''. I was originally inspired by the hamer virtuoso 36 fret guitar so i decided to pay tribute to it. :thumbup:




I Still hava heap of work to do but the hardest part is over I hope anyway. Pictures may look rough in spots but i assure you it will come up fantastic at the end.

The "Virtus" Logo is sweet and it has a very profound meaning. Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't that a word from ancient Rome meaning Valor, courage, or like strength and manliness?

It's cool but, I would've put my name on it. I'm a narcissist like that. LOL This is turning into a really cool guitar.
