Finally getting some finish on my Weber Custom Elite. It's taken almost 4 years to get it to this point, but I think it's been worth the wait.
Specs:
85 yr. old Englemann top
110 yr. old maple back, rim, and neck
ebony board and PH veneer
Black, White, Tortoise bound body and PH, White/Black bound F-holes.
Abalone/MOP PH inlay
Abbreviated and scalloped FB extension (20 frets)
abalone side dots (double dot at 12th)
impressionistic fishook FB markers
Stainless Steel .080 fretwire
Three piece neck with Ebony stringer.
Faded Antique Tobacco double stain
Oil Varnish. I haven't decided yet whether to go with a hand-rubbed satin sheen or buff it out for high gloss. It'll end up with an integrated armrest, bound ebony pickguard, and traditional Brekke bridge.
