Here is the peg head design I decided on for the Dragon Tele. This is the same pattern used in the fabric.

Okay, the next step was to apply 10 coats of red dye candy apple red to the back sides and neck of the guitar. Now comes the waiting, this will need to dry or shrink for a week to ten days. After about three days I will give it a light sanding to open the Nitro clear and let it breath again. This will give it a harder finish to work with in the end. This body will need another ten coats before it's done. Most of the time you sand off at least half of what you spray on. I will be posting the sanded body and the finish product in about two weeks.

Stay tuned for other projects I'm working on and feel free to ask any questions a long the way.

This is the next step in creating the fabric tele, I applied a Birdseye maple veneer on the back and made a Birdseye maple neck to match. The neck will be attached with screws and ferrules to increase sustain. At this point the fabric has five coats of Nitro lacquer and has been sanded smooth on top.

The next step in the cherry red dye and the clear coats.

Stay tuned, James

Take a look at this one of a kind project I posted the finished product earlier this week. This is a video of how it was made. I offer this service to builders and people who just want to build there dream axe. If you can dream it i can build it.

Thanks James

Here is the first Fabric covered Nikita to be created, Swamp ash CNC made body with double black binding. When I'm finished with this baby it will have a dyed cherry red back and side with black dragon scales.

Stayed tuned for the next step in the finishing.

I'm working on this guitar with a customer of mine, He sent me his design to me on paper and we worked together to build this awesome new guitar. He contacted me trough Ebay and wanted to build a guitar with his eleven year old son. I built the body blank with the woods of his choice and also the neck, Then I had Matt from Custom CNC cutting program the shape of the body and do the cutting. The whole project cost my customer about $650.00 for materials and labor. If he was to try this process with some of the other well known builder out there it would of cost him twice as much and he would not of had the freedom of design. This was a fun project for both of us and now he is working on other designs.
