Thanks everybody, I really liked the way it came out. But, the other cool thing is it isn't just looks, this thing is a tone monster & played sooo good.

Eh given that Jesus WAS a Rabbi it makes sense... something that got seriously overlooked as time progressed

Pretty much the only reason most Christians aren't Jewish is because of Paul, who never even met Jesus yet mostly dictated a lot of what became modern Christianity

Hmmm too much useless historical knowledge showing, as you were, nothing to see here, move along

Patrick: that would be Judeo-Christian

It looks a lot like some previous ones you did, with an Ankh maybe? Eh well, it's a design that you do well

Very interesting, I'm glad to know that now. Oh & thanks for pointing out the right way to spell it haha, I was just guessing at how it was spelled

Thanks. Yea, its basically the same lay out but with a different theme. Instead of a Celtic theme it has a christian theme. Christian cross instead of Ankh, thorns around body instead of celtic knots, crown of thorns in the middle instead of a celtic knot, etc.....

What does the headstock look like?

BTW, I didn't mean for it to come out like, "Geez, do something different already!" I mean, it's good to have a style that people recognize you by. If I saw that guitar on the street, I'd have known it was yours right off the bat.

I'm curious about "Yahweh" as IIRC it's generally taboo in most orthodox circles to actually write the whole thing out in Hebrew. Usually "God" is referred to as "Adonai" and spelled as two yuds (the rightmost character in "Yahweh") next to each other.

Don't remember the exact reason, but that is how it is in every piece of Jewish literature I've been forced to read

Gibson open book style, painted silver, my Sims logo in black across the top, star of David in the middle where "Les Paul model" would be. I however made sure not to make the dimensons of the headstock EXACTLY the same so there wouldn't be any problems with the legality of it.

I lost my memory card that has the pictures of this guitar (and about 5 other guitars I just finished) so I'm really pissed b/c I have a pic of the front of the headstock on there but not on my computer. I've turned this place upside down looking for it.

Oh its ok, I didn't take it as a bad thing, I knew what you meant.
