Lou Shields Shitar deluxe

Sorry I haven't been able to take many pics this week, I left my camera in Lou's car Saturday night.  So today I glued up the neck blank using my maple, a 1/4x3/4 steel bar so he can use 20 gauge strings if he wants, and then a chunk of masonite from the possum ramp for a skunk stripe.  Made it super thick, its gonna have a 1-1.375 taper for a big ass boat/V neck.  I'll get pics of that if i can, but my phone is on the fritz and I only managed to snap a pic of the top. 

The top wood came in the mail today, so I jointed and glued it up.  It'll still need to sit overnight, but I drew an outline on it to give people an idea of how it'll look.


I have a feeling the burst is gonna look amazing on this.
