I'm close enough now to where I feel like I can share this with everyone. Still a lot of detail work left to do but it's turning out really nicely. Had to make a new fretboard because I wasn't happy with the 1st one. The customer is amazed at how well it's turning out

So this is basically the design for the custom guitar i am building for a customer based off of the video game cyberpunk 2077. It's starting to take shape. Still in the building process and this is a picture i pulled off the internet for a reference.

New custom build for a customer coming up. I'll post some pictures probably next week. It's based off of a video game and they wanted me to bring it to life
