Carved es 335
finally finished my carved es 335 that i started planning 2 years ago. The body and neck are QLD Maple, ebony fingerboard and on the headstock. White plastic bindings and abolone and mop inlays. Tobacco burst sprayed finish with shellac (tinted with Feast Watson stains), and nitro lacquer over the top. Here are some pics.

Well you may be Paul, that is a very, very, impressive effort. The finish is wet candy and what's underneath all class.funkytwang wrote:i am happy - Paul
Well done mate.
P.S. Next time it would be real good if you could remember put the controls and strings the right way around..
Cheers

That's simply outstanding. All the details are spot on. Elegant, warm and inviting, makes me want to pick it up and hold it for a while. A cracker of a job on that burst and finish too. Don't stop making them now. You've got a talent.

Truely, a professional looking instrument.
I reckon Queensland Maple is so under rated!
That's an impecable finish and the sunburst is beautifully exacuted.
Thanks for sharing.

Re: Carved es 335
Gawwwwwgeous! I love tobacco bursts at the best of times but this one takes it up a notch. I'd be happy to if this had come off my bench so well done Paul
And by the way...I wouldn't try correcting this one but when you build the next, the controls & pickguard go on the otherside of the lower bout
What sort of pickups do you use?

Re: Carved es 335
I love 335's and I love sunbursts so I definitely love this guitar! I agree with all the others who approve of your fine burst and fine fit and finish.
Well, now I must put one of these on my "to build" list. I can see why you are so happy.
Congratulations Paul-fine work.

Very nice work. You really nailed the look and feel of a 335. The head stock script is a nice touch.
