Just about done with my latest squeeze, what do you think? Mahogany with maple top, really loving working with copper at the moment, you might be able to tell. Impressed with iron gears hot slag pups, high output but the alnico 5 magnets keep that natural warmth that I love so much. And I love the unpolished nickel covers, they will age really nice. I am particularly proud of the world inlay in the headstock made from mother of pearl, lapis lazuli and bronze. #obsessivecompulsiveluthier #luthier #luthierintraining #guitar #electricguitar #guitarbuilding #teal #copper #handmade #oneofakind #copperleaf #maple #wood #mahogany

Send me your face.. I'm putting references together for my next drawing courses and need faces with character; send me your grizzled mushes, the gnarlier the better. Old, young, scarred, tattooed, wrinkled, handsome or just plain unique I just want real. Tag a friend and share this post around. PM me with good quality, well lit photos of your lovely faces if you want to be included. Any angle is cool, preferably single light source, black and white or colour. no selfies please and no Instagram filtered , touched up, air brush BS, I want genuine please. #beard #beardedmen #oldman #face #portrait #sketch #drawing #portraiture #teaching #instartist #artistatwork #charcoal #charcoaldrawing #pasteldrawing #pastelpainting #pasteldrawing
