A third Electric guitar I am working on. The inspration for the design was from a guitar I saw on the website of soulmate guitar.
Maple burl on top and on the headplate. Mahogany for the body and the set neck. Madagascar ebony for the fretboard.
White binding on the head, the fretboard, the body. Need finishing. I think I'll go for some kind of sunburst.

Very nice! Unfinished, you can't really seem much of the wood grain, but I imagine that that burl is REALLY going to pop once it's finished. Btw, I read about a technique to make burl look even better: stain it black, then sand most of it off - the dye affects the swirls and knots of the burl and really brings out the details. I mean to try that technique myself with a small box that I'm turning on the lathe out of burl.
Thank you! I hope that I can do justice to that burl when finished. I saw that technique you mentioned for quilted maple here http://www.exit45.com/VaxII (middle of that long web page). Don't know if I can use it on burl with success. But I may give it a try with some leftover pieces. Don't forget to put a picture of your small box when finished!
