Love the eight string Steve, very nice with the burst shading and the Jarah FB sits really well on there. Customer must have massive paws to play that sucker, would hate to barre a chord with that width! How is it strung up? Low B and a high A ? Interesting pup location too & long scale, must really have some cut & ooomph.

Thanks guys, both these guitars are fairly different than my usual builds, yet they've both got my styling in there somewhere.
The tele gets picked up in the weekend, the 8 string I'm still deciding what I plan to do with it. Ie keep or sell.

You have done it again mate
, But is there any reason why you chose Black ABS control cavity covers, I love the guitars, but I'm not sure about the Black ABS covers mate, Sorry
I take it that the 0.022uf PIO Capacitor used is one of those 5kg jobs

Tod: the elec cavities look black in the pics, however it's actually clear Perspex with a black tint, so you can see the wiring and the 5kg caps etc!
On the 8 string it's a tas Blackwood cover but the burst covers most of it.
