So, top's just about done. Moving onto the satin momentarily. Check out the curls!

 

[Suitable]

god i love redwood but after making a redwood topped guitar, its the most frustrating thing to sand cause it sands differently around the body

Yeah, based on our conversations, it sounds like he spent a good amount of time getting the final sanding done because of that fact.

 

[MetalDestroyer]

Hawt Dizzamn. Hard to believe how young this guy is.

So Tyler just sent me a video of the top's finish, which is now done. The initial stained color has mellowed out just a bit and it looks awesome.

Edit: Video posting didn't quite work out...so, here's a screengrab:

I hadn't been able to keep up with this with school starting... found my way back and I would just like to say:

Just an FYI, Tyler posted both videos on his FB page in pretty good quality if you want to check them out!

Annnnnd Buffed. Assembly should start tomorrow if everything's good and final setup should happen Thursday. Tyler's probably going to have a fellow forumite give it a test run on camera for his website and I should have it in hand by next weekend. With a thorough NGD to follow! (For those that just joined us, this is getting a BK Nailbomb in the bridge and a VHII in the neck (black covers w/chrome poles) and a ruthenium finished Schaller Hannes in addition to black knobs. I figure it'll look CLASS when it's all said and done, though I'm almost thinking I should have opted for covers with no poles showing....

One of the few guitars that I wouldn't change a single thing about. Except maybe pickup selection to bkp warpigs for personal preference, but this is one of the most gorgeous guitars ever I keep coming back. This has to win the next guitar of the month.
