The Sheriff's in Town...go fer your gun!! ...don't worry folks, he's only snoozin' in the evening sun....for now (-;

Made from a Partagas Black Label cigar box, scale length 25.5 inches, tuned b+G+D+G+. Artec ceramic "Toaster" style humbucker and Fender Vol and Tone knobs.
The neck is American Oak, fretboard is Ebony, managed to get a piano black finish but it doesn't show too well in the photos, whole thing is laquered with clear polyurethane.

That is classy and smokin' hot, Steve.  Will give you a star on this one.  Ebony!  Nice do it all string height. 

 

Nice finish.  What do you put down before the poly?

Very nice looking instrument Steve. Let me take a guess. I bet there is a song with a suitable connection just waiting to be recorded. Nice work and look forward to hearing it.

All the best.
