I started making this guitar in 1989.

I wanted to make a copy of George Lynch's Skull & Bones
J Frog guitar . This was one of the first guitars that I made
and my first attempt to hand carve. The body is mahogany,
and the maple neck and all of the parts are from a washburn
strat style that I specifically bought for parts.

I made a drawing of the guitar on the body blank, then used
a router to start the 3 dimension look . Then I started hand
carving with chisels and knives to create the effect of the bones.
I didn't really work on the guitar steadily , and it took about a
year for it to be finished . Joy repainted the bones in 2001 .
