I've had some pics taken of some of my stuff in the hope of getting a website together one day.
Here's some pics of the curly maple build i did last year.

Rod, I think photographing guitars is as difficult as building them - looks like you succeeded brilliantly on both counts!

Cheers

This is a very stylish guitar. The sunburst finish is gorgeos! The headplate and pick guard look like the same wood. What species of wood is that? Thanks for sharing Rod.

Cheers

Lovely guitar Rod and the pictures are great. Did you use a photo editing
package to remove the background?
