Wow!!!!!! Really,really killer work. I'm new here so just read this thread from beginning to end. I'm from Long Island myself, born and raised here. Looks like you did okay moving. I've been thinking about moving to PA for over a year now.Anyway...............awesome work on that axe!

Number ONE ...
I can say one thing ..... after looking at the fretboard inlays, side markers, binding @ pickups & the forthought and craftsmanship with all the milling and everything .... I think I just made a mess in my underwear .....

Number TWO ...
With the dedication behind the serial number of this instrument .... the thought and care going into it ... son that IS what love is all about and it is good to know there are people lurking here that have great qualities such as that, and arent afraid to show it. My friend, I pray that you and your wife enjoy great prosperity and health for many years to come.


.... well, as long as you keep sending us eye candy and guitar porn like this .... j/k ....

All the best

Any updates Budman?

[Budman68]

Again, thanks so much for all the kind words, they really mean alot.. as for updates, I've given up on this project and I'm thinking of burning it. I'm just getting sick and tired of the guitar project thing as it's frustrating as hell.

If any of you are thinking of starting a project, don't do it. Just save your friggin money and go buy what you want. Forget all this crap, it's not fun, and it pisses you off to no end.......






















































Just kiddin, it's still at Marks being painted.....

[rjohnstone]

Come on Mark... how about some teaser pics.
Maybe a little step by step stuff to go with the theme of the thread.

[Budman68]

let Mark alone, damnit! lol!

Seriously, he's sending me progress pics and I promise to put them up in the next "installment"

[Shotgun]

Shit, you made my heart stop for a minute.

[dpivar]

Got me too… Can’t wait to see pics when it’s finished - this is going to be an extraordinarily special guitar for sure!

Yeah well we've had a few technical difficulties on this end
All is well though. BTW, does anybody know a good way to get coffee stains out of maple??

[Shotgun]

I do, Mark - just send it to me and I'll get that all squared away for you. Really. I promise.
