hello my dear craftsmen
this is a Mr Classic 4 string fretless
body... cherry with whole pyramid blocks
top....flamed maple
neck...maple/walnut
fretboard...wenge with maple fretlines and epoxy coated
colour of the top is indigo blue but as it is shot under the neon light doesn't appear so, binding is still muddy and it'll be cleaned when the burst will be applied         |

But just as much, I'd like to hear your thoughts on what you expect from this design style, besides the additional benefit of a little less weight.

And some photos of a finished Mr.Serious 6 string fretless
top- mahogany with burst
body- alder
neckthrough-maple/paduak
fretboard-ebony with maple/ebony binding    |

| | | They look great! I'm not sure where has the blue gone, but that is okay too.
You could take some full-bass shots, it's hard to get the overall picture this way.
Good job! And their names are great
