Thanks Nelson.
Here are some shots I have of various stuff I have built.
I also have some shots showing how I built a guitar on a Fadal cnc machine. Programmed with Mastercam.

Jr. you HAVE to get a lentz tele! Maybe one day I'll be half the builder he is! :)

[John Catto]

Ian, I've said this before but I think your original design guitars look really good. Most importent as a design they show really good taste and balance, something I'm not entirely sure someone can just learn. These have been around for a while now, you must have one by now with finish on it don't you?

[Gazza]

Thats some real nice looking work Ian.:)

Great stuff ............ oh fiendishone! makesmenervous

[Tonefiend]

THanks everyone.
John,
One with finish is on the works right now. It has been a long expensive process outfitting my shop with a compressor, air lines, building a rack, and holding tools buying the guns, and all the supplies for mixing, masking etc.
But I have sealed and filled the 1st prototype it is ready for lacquer. My compressor is down awhile I run some conduit and electrical lines in the shop for it and other machinery.
Of the 2 Mastercam guitars one is in an undisclosed location I will be revealing this fall. the other is on the bench and needs to be completed and finished.
There is another I am working on that I am trying out some ideas on that is almost ready for finishing.
Then there are the Flying Vees I have in the works. I am building the fixtures, templates, and tooling as I go along so I will be able to do them up right. Templates are off a '57 prototype and a '58. I have some great mahogany!

I work on this between my full time 4-midnight gig and 20 hours a week with Lentz !

Dave I am still waiting on the titanium rods!!! The bongs keep breaking under extreme vibrations "Marshall past 8" going to have to go polycarbonate. :lol

[Nelson F]

We want more! We want more! We want more We want more!

I didn't have a camera prior to about two years ago. I need to track some stuff down and get some photos. in the meantime I'll see if I can dig up some more.
