That instrument looks great from any angle. I was wondering what it was that gave it such a clean look. Suddenly realised. No strings. I must try that on mine. Should improve the sound. Really lovely work.
That's one very beautiful guitar - and great workmanship!
I assume it's a solid body electric guitar, and not acoustic, because the sound board is so thick. I'l like to do something similar (laminate a sound board), but would require an electric planer to plane the sound board down to something less than a quarter inch. Maybe you can give us some more details on how you built it. I'm going to check out your other photos now.

I'm waiting for a wee little irish chap to come along and pop a self playing set on.
like them all, a work in progress. not worked out which string set up yet (on 3 builds)
mate to own real tools { here comes a wish list,..... thickneser, flat bed planner, dimention saw, fret saw, files, and on it goes}
I did that one with an old (very untrue) rip saw, lots of hand sanding, glue and cheep cramps. I know there is a far better way to do it than mine.
