This guitar would look amazing if you dyed the flat top and left the beveled natural.

Edit: The bird is his logo and will sit atop the rear tuning peg.

Edit 2: He's done all this since Tuesday.....with another job. Killer.

I REALLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Like that design man, a LOT.

To be clear, the body's Vik's (in case that's what you were referring to) and the headstock is mine. Thanks though...:lol:

This is gonna turn out sweet. Staying tuned for more.

Cheers!

You know.....that's an interesting idea. I might see if Tyler can leave the internal bevels near the neck natural a la PRS, but we'll see.

Eagerly anticipating more progess pics - this guy works like a machine it seems!

Also can't wait to see another build with that headstock design, i put a deposit down for my BWGC build a few weeks back and I'm getting the same style headstock - major props for creating it man

And glad you dig it man, I figure there'll be more builds from Aaron that will be showcasing my design.

Edit: Looks like a Granite work surface. Classy....not just for your high end kitchens and bathrooms anymore folks.

Yeah, his anchor guitar was a pretty cool example of what he can do in that arena of building.

And hell, have another few:

Looking at that bit of limba showing where the contours will end up being carved seems a good sign of things to come after Tyler gets to work on it!

That headstock contrast makes me even more excited for mine! Mine will be spalt where yours is ebony, and ebony where yours is maple. This is turning out beautiful, and at a pace which i can't fathom

To be fair, this is the only guitar he's working on now in order to finish it before he takes a two month break to go to a school focusing on acoustics (IIRC). So if you become a customer down the road, I wouldn't necessarily expect things to come together quite this quickly. Regardless, his communication is phenomenal.

The binding is off the chain. That Vik body design is pure sex to me. Classy and elegant, yet modern and mildly aggressive. Nice taste, man.
