Some supplies

Here are some of my supplies.

This is almost everything.
Guess what is in the picture that doesn't belong? :)





The white dots are mother of pearl, and these are going to be marks on the neck, and the sizes are 6mm and 2mm. The green things are paua abalone, the 1x1 square is going to be my logo (to be shown later), and in the other bag, are sixteen curved pieces that are going to go around the sound hole. 
The strap buttons are the little chrome pieces, and the hard to see black things are Ebony bridge pins.



This is the binding for edge of the body of the guitar.
Colors: Cream, Black and White.

The little long thing above the wood is the fretwire,
and the wood is the bracing for the inside of the body.

Here is the truss rod (the red thing), and kerfing lining (made of basswood).
The lining goes on the inside along the corners of the body.
The U looking thing on top is perfing (made of thin dried maple, black and white)
It's to go around the sound as well. 

The tuning heads or machines (made in Germany).

This is going to be neck and fret board.
The black board is Gabon Ebony from Africa,
and the other board is Genuine Mahogany.


More to come.
