Daydreaming

So this is our overweight beagle Ima propped up on our couch wishing she was running loose. You ever wonder what you pet is thinking? Well I know that this dog is dreaming of knocking over trash cans and eating whatever she can.

Guitar Hero

So I am building my own guitar, with lots of help from my father in law (who is making his 33 guitar at the moment) of course. It is so cool to be able to design and create your own instrument. To pick out your own wood and make the inlays and shapes that will make you instrument and one of a kind. In the first pic you can see my handy work on the neck of my guitar the top chunk of wood is what I started with and the middle is the final neck shape with my fretboard below it. The inlays on the tuning head where all done by hand and the inlay is done in blood wood (click on pic to see inlay up close). In the next picture you can see the front and sides of my guitar the top is spruce and I can't remember what the sides and back are but I know it's cool looking wood. Now my in laws live in Nashville so I have only been able to work on it when I am out there visiting, so I have asked my father in law to keep me up to speed with the guitar his is making, I would love to have it by next summer. It has been a great experience learning more about the guitar by seeing how they are made on an intimate level.
