Great job, Obi. Looking at the before photo, I would have classified that thing as firewood.

Nice job Obi.

Great Job Obi: Did you the restoration or the jig to hold the Guitar?

-- Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com

Nice! I have a guitar that needs work. I have the skills to build the jig, not the fretwork. I’ll have to send it away. Nice job, obi!

Nice work. I’m curious – why did he scallop the fretboard on an acoustic? I’ve seen it done on electrics to improve speed (a la Yingwe Malmsteen), but I’ve never seen it on an acoustic before.

Maybe he’s going to convert it to an electric, and rock out with his bad self!

He scalloped the fretboard because he likes them that way. And since it was his first scalloping, he wanted to practice on a Custom P.O.S.

His next one is the Ibanez that we rebuilt

We’ve created a Monster. After the fretwork, we decided to replace the face with a 3/16th inch piece of solid Mahogany… pictures to follow.
