I recently finished this custom pickguard for a Gibson Humminbird. The butterfly & hummingbird are quilt maple. The flowers are movingui(African hardwood). I had fun adding the color!

I have had some down time from building guitars since mid-October. My replaced hip finally gave out. I had surgery on February 5th. I have been feeling great. The pain after surgery has been minimal compared to pre-surgery!! We are also in the process of moving our shop from downtown Belgrade to our house! We will be saving alot of money not having shop rent & utilities to pay! I will be on crutches for 4 more weeks so progress is slow getting the new shop organized. I'm already loving having windows & nice white walls!!
