Just letting them dry.....
Laying there like that with no hardware visible, with the semi-regular striations through them, they almost look like really yummy cookies!
I'd love one in ebony that takes a 14500. Any chance you'll make some out of ebony in the near future?
OR
Failing that, a flamed maple dyed black like so:

I see it now,lol...I used to love those as a kid...darn it now I got them on the brain...I feel like Cookie Monster..coookieees
cool guitar btw!
Indeed. Looks like it was signed by Joe Perry of Aerosmith even. It's not mine though.
I really doubt ebony. It's hard to find good pieces (around here at least) and it tends to be pretty $$$ for those that are. The all black curly maple like that is something I could probably do. Maybe I'll give it a try on one in the near future.

Thats one nice Did I say really nice looking guitar.I could dig a mod in that wood.
hmmm how about a guitar mod? Functional guitar with built in e-cig??? yeah, that's the ticket ...
Update!
Part 10?
The boxes still need one more day probably to cure. It's been unusually humid here (I won't cry about it, I grew up in the midwest where %60 humidity was great) so at least one more day before I start other things. But I can at least work on some small stuff that's needed.
First (not pictured) I whip up a large batch of epoxy and coat the "rails" inside with a thin coat. When this dries, it will strengthen those rails considerably and help insure the mod fits solidly together.
Then, I need to cut some end pieces to fit inside the box. These hold the battery and the battery contacts. Like just about everything else, the hand plane comes out to square and trim the pieces to exact size, and then they are epoxied in.
While the epoxy sets, it's time to do some soldering to get the internal pieces ready for installation.
And, when the epoxy has been given plenty of time to set, I cut the top battery piece. Square, trim, and drill a hole for the wire...I also cut a small edge off to allow for the negative battery wire to fit thru to the switch.
Epoxy that in, and give it some time to dry...I really like to give it a day to fully set...I don't buy that "set's in 5 mins" stuff.
Tomorrow I should hopefully be able to buff the mods to shine them up, and start installing the guts.

Its amazing to watch you build these, knowing one of them is going to end up in my hands (all things going as planned) I'm so excited ... thank you for taking the time to show us step by step. I think it's going to be the star of my collection!
On day closer to awesome beauty. w00t.
