These two are for a couple of Swedish fellows!

Here is an amber natural bass. I have narrowed the prospective model name down to two options but haven't decided which it will be yet.

A shaded bass with mahogany neck!

And finally (for the moment) the beginning of 18 more guitars that I am hoping to have built and in the spray room within the next 6 weeks! EEEK!

I love the toothpaste green, for sure that's the one I'd pick. And I'm very curious to see what comes out of that pile of necks in the next few weeks.

Matt I'm glad you dig them! Hopefully Lars is cool with a shaded amber? I wasn't sure what to do so I got creative!

I just sent the pics to Lars and he most thoroughly approves. Really great job!

I spent several days wet sanding finishes and am now going to spray the final coat on the first batch of guitars!
The necks for the second batch are ready for fingerboards so I guess those need to be made now!

Fingerboards glued on and trimmed. I also have the side dots in. Now it's time to level the boards, shape the necks, and do 18 fret jobs. Yikes!
