Hey Guys,

Wanted to share my first custom guitar build. This guitar has a Sapele body and Maple top. I did not build the neck other than cutting the headstock shape and putting in the pearl inlay. This pic is after the first two coats of lacquer - gonna do a total of 10 coats.

Once complete, this will have a Dimarzio Liquifire in the neck and a Dimarzio Titan in the bridge. Would love to hear some feedback.

Your image isn't transposing to display for me (Android tablet).

Evidently, Guitar Tricks doesn't allow us to share pictures. Here's a public link to my facebook post with the same pic.

I posted a new thread with an embedded Twitter link. Hopefully this allows everyone to see the pic.

The pic has two coats of lacquer so far but haven't been able to spray the last few days because of the rain.
