Better lighting on a previously posted pic. Cedar top with Mahogany sides, Ebony fretboard, Ebony binding and etching by me. A Harrison Art Deco pickup, a custom Ebony bridge and a silver plated brass tailpiece.

Sounds like him and his laser should get a room! Nice adaptation....good eye too! Isn't it amazing how widely varied the places are where we can find our ideas and inspiration?! Nice work my friend.
This is where I got my artwork idea, it's a one hundred year history book of the United States. On a future build I want to put this in its entirety with a logo in the center of it, i think it'll be pretty sweet. Got a bid for eching it, with a frickin' laysur, but the dude musta been on crack or something, he wanted like four hundred bucks to do four gitboxes! LOL
The etching I did with a Harbor Freight etching pen, $8.00 and powered by two AAA batteries. Harbor Freight is good for somethin', went to get another couple of them, but they were out. The tail piece is cut out of a silver plated table doily thingy, and the binding, you just gotta have the right tools that's all.

No shit! a battery powered $8 pen (and a pattern I suspect!)
Great idea on using just part of the table doily ting.... gotta keep the old peepers peeled for more useful thrift store crap!!!!
