    Gotta agree with all the praise you've gotten, scatter. One thing that blows me away especially is the precision of the work amidst the macgyver-esque riggings. Something to aspire to, that's for sure.

    Great job Scatter Lee. I think the string ferrules as a necklace look great.

    Excellent work with the airbrush too.

    Two thumbs up and five stars!

    It's hard to tell from just one picture, but it's definitely not a falcon. My guess is that it's a broad-winged hawk, probably an immature, first-year bird.

    I've watched your thread more than my own....nice work. You are making this extremely difficult to compete. Sorry, but I must pull out all the stops :).

    this is without a doubt the most impressive thread i've ever read on here. I'm incredibly impressed with your work. You have impressive skills.

    But I must say I'm VERY disappointed by one major thing. You didn't make the pickup. Even I can make a pickup.

    Maybe the problem is the startup cost is over the $100 budget, or it's a timing thing, either way I would understand.

    But, contest or no contest, that Guitar DESERVES a pickup made by YOU!

    Loved the video...lol. Sounds great! Anyone who says the MIM ceramic pickups don't sound good needs to give that a listen.

    I'd still like to see you make a pickup too though. Lets throw the gloves down!
