Description here's the latest piece i finished, number 30. it's a solid flame mahogany body strat w/a flame mahogany neck, and an ebony fretboard w/ a dragon inlay. it's the first piece i've completed that is a collaboration w/my good friend Jerry Kaisersmyth. he's the one responsible for the fretboard and the rad gvk pickguard. the body is extra thick as i wanted to push myself on depth, so i had to dish out the back for weight. it's still a pretty heavy strat, and has humongous tone. for some reason, i was obsessed w/3's on this piece, so there are a lot of things in groups of three(3 layers throughout the carving etc.).
jerry and i will be collaborating more in the near future, so stay tuned.
hope you guys like it
by the way, the dates are wrong in the info. that camera just sucks haha! it was completed a few months ago.

This is insane, it must have taken forever! You'll so hear from me if chance takes a flipstep and I should find myself as a rockstar.

actually the hardware fits perfect it may look a bit strange to you in this photo because due to the oversized body
(i built it thicker than normal by about half an inch to allow me to carve with more depth) i recessed the bridge hardware into the wood. and created a second space to add texture in front of the bridge before the pickguard (you can see it in some of the other pics from the top)
thanks for the kind words
