Here’s serial #2 of my Pi guitar design. No, it doesn’t look like the pi sign, sorry.

Black Limba body & neck with striped ebony fretboard. Natural Danish oil finish.

This guitar is a milestone for me as it is the first of my original designs that will be on display and for sale in a retail store. I’ll be dropping it off in a few days. I will add pics of it completed before taking it to the store. Probably some pics of it hanging in the store too lol.

@nsj Yeah that’s where I get most of my paints from. It’s not cheap compared to other places but it’s fantastic stuff. I’ve not done anything for ages but I’ve got plenty planned. I will make a return one day, with a vengeance. 🤘😆🤘

@nsj That is a very nice guitar Neil. Well done with the paint job, I love the colour. I’m glad you chose to use a candy over silver, it adds that bit extra depth and effect. Top job.

Go for it! You get better the more guitars you make! I make a lot now I have retired. Here are some I have built from scratch. They are all short scale 30".

They look great Jim. I'm just about to start on the neck & am making a couple of jigs.
