This started as a straight tribute to Iommi... it is now something of its own. The hand of doom.... maybe.
The Sapele blank I had for the neck had terrible run out. In order to combat the run out I decided to laminate it. Then I got a little crazy. Then it was hard to keep all the pieces in order... but I managed it. The grain on the neck will alternate for each piece. The piece of Bocote I used for the fretboard also provided a pair of stringers and a bookmatched headstock plate plus trussrod cover.
Sapele body I got from a friend in a deal. It is going to be a good start. I was originally going to stain the whole thing black as I don't really care for plain Sapele. I have decided to put a nice top on it.
