My Shishkov is to celebrate my 50th, so the (mostly) black fretboard represents the solid bowel movements that are becoming increasingly elusive in my old age.

EDIT: Meant to say "blank" not "black" (although I experience the latter on occasion as well).

Funny stuff. Well, this one has balls of fire on the fretboard, so I certainly hope it is unrelated to the DBraz's bowel movements. If so, I don't even want know what's in his diet.

Perhaps the Balls of Fire represent his still-blazing libido.

One does not need a fancy CNC machine when you have skills...

Long live the power carve!

Oh I agree completely. The fact this is being hand made is a distinct attraction over a CNC machine.

A CNC machine would not be a drawback at all, and does not diminish the excellence of the work, but watching somebody with the skills to do it by hand with a grinder/plane can be magical!

Totally.  To me it was purely the satisfaction of it being hand made.

Mike floats the grinding wheel just above the wood's surface, like a bee hovering over a flower, then just a light touch and glide across..

Lots of finesse there.

That takes years of practice considering the weight of that grinder and how subtle each approach is.
