Well I have been workin with a friend of mine that has a laser
Today we tried something
Not sure just what I am going to do with it yet,but man does it look cool.....

The detail on this is just amazing!!

Brett Faust · June 23rd, 2009, 04:35 AM

That is so cool,well done .Want to do more?

ghostwolf · June 23rd, 2009, 05:12 AM

that's pretty cool. how long did it take to finish? how deep into the wood is the design?

BAW4742 · June 23rd, 2009, 07:38 AM

How about doing a pink burst over that?

Looks cool. Nice work Marty.

Not too sure total
I just stopped in to see what he thought,give him the file with the pattern and carried on with my business in town not thinking he would do it right away.I stopped in on my way home and he was in the process of doing it.There was about half of one side left and that took about 20 min so I am thinking it took a good hour to do it all

jkingma · June 23rd, 2009, 01:45 PM

Wickedly cool. Now some pink aniline dye...

Buckocaster51 · June 23rd, 2009, 01:56 PM

Marty, that's neat. All sorts of ideas come to mind.

You could probably burn Ash wood grain on a piece of poplar. Might eliminate the need for grain filler.

I wonder what an outline of the regular old Fender paisley pattern would look like.

Hmmmmm...now who just might have those files hanging around...

iansmitchell · June 23rd, 2009, 02:12 PM

I'd burn designs into the fretboard...

irishtele · June 23rd, 2009, 03:35 PM

Thats really cool!
Make sure you post pics when its done! :)

rangercaster · June 23rd, 2009, 04:00 PM

gold leaf the paisley, then a pink finish ...

jay1970 · June 23rd, 2009, 04:50 PM

Fantastic, the neck would look great done also, or maybe just the head.

martyb1 · June 23rd, 2009, 05:27 PM

Wonder if there has ever been a 3 color burst paisley?

I'm not sure, but they should speak up...

Very cool Marty, very cool.

giginthesky · June 23rd, 2009, 06:19 PM

hmmmmm. black double bound with a black guard. hmmmmm.

Nick JD · June 23rd, 2009, 08:29 PM

Super cool. Isn't technology wonderful? Some colour on that will look brilliant.

Reminds me a little of going to an Indian wedding in Hyderabad once ... the bride's henna "tattoos" are wickedly intricate.

e-merlin · June 23rd, 2009, 10:26 PM

Very cool!

Very 3-d effect...

RiverDog · June 24th, 2009, 12:44 AM

I've been thinking how cool it would be to get one of those lasers. Not sure how much demand there is for it, though.

unbridled · June 24th, 2009, 02:58 AM

That is way cool!

pjam · June 24th, 2009, 10:03 AM

Marty was asking about 3 color burst Paisley?....... check out my posting 'Paisley Esquire'

pjam · June 24th, 2009, 10:32 AM

sorry there it is again.

martyb1 · July 16th, 2009, 01:17 AM

Well since the weather has halted my spraying I decided to do something with this.I don't know how some of you guys live with humidity

Anyway,now just have to decide what to do next!

I do have an idea

Buckocaster51 · July 16th, 2009, 01:21 AM

How many toilet seats died for that?

Oh! The humanity!

Flashback · July 16th, 2009, 01:52 AM

would look so much more awesome with black binding

fishtownmike · July 16th, 2009, 03:04 AM

That does look cool. Did you sand the body to finish grade before lasering? Just wondering about the possibility of sanding through

Jazzmeister · July 16th, 2009, 09:26 AM

That is SICK!!!!! Absolutely gorgeous. I'm in love!!!!

eric_o · July 16th, 2009, 11:59 AM

Wow, I can't wait to see your progress with this, I'm liking the binding.

jeremyb · July 16th, 2009, 05:30 PM

That is the coolest thing ever, nice job dude!!

I had it sanded to 320 but no grain filler.We were unsure how the laser would react to the filler.
It has a few coats of sanding sealer on it and right now kinda looks like tooled leather

martyb1 · August 16th, 2009, 09:07 PM

Well I haven't been around for a while.Some major personal stuff going on.Just getting things going again so I thought I would throw up an update
Pretty much ready for color!

Buckocaster51 · August 16th, 2009, 09:34 PM

Color huh?

Is anything other than pink going through your mind?

Do you have you snow-thrower ready to go?

It is getting to be near that time again!

Southern Ill Electrics · August 16th, 2009, 09:58 PM

Its gawd-gess as is......Your all over it......I'm very impressed.
Paisley really ain't my thing......but this changes EVERYTHING !!

will hesch · August 17th, 2009, 12:43 AM

Where did you score that binding, I like it!!!

sean79 · August 17th, 2009, 01:08 AM

I guess I missed this thread. Very interested in the laser thing - and curious about where you're going next. The reflections on the latest photo make it look like the laser cuts are not real deep - or that you've filled them in... maybe it's just the photo. Either way, it's looking good.

The laser cuts were probably deeper than the ash grain.Next one will be on a tighter grained wood like maple.We just pretty much did this as an experiment

jay1970 · August 17th, 2009, 07:59 AM

Thanks for the update, its looking fantastic.

ThreePlyGuy · August 19th, 2009, 09:27 PM

It's very tasty as is, terrific idea.

mwaym · August 21st, 2009, 01:03 AM

That's awesome !!!! A fresh idea for once. You know that you guys could sell those, don't ya ???? How long did the lazer process take ???? That's just a really cool, fresh idea.
