Deco - Build #3

What started off as the most boring box in the world has turned into an interesting challenge. Many firsts have been attempted in this build. Headstock - angled and laminated. Staining bone black. and wiring my first active electric pick-up. I pretty sure that I have made every error know to luthiers around the world & some that no one has thought possible. Started in September 2011 and completed in January 2012 it is a monument to my tenacious nature. lol

Thanks - The inspiration came from Bobs pick-up. The rest followed from there.
