New Custom 6'er in the Works! (Redwood/Limba whhaaaaaaa)

[Watty]

I think it actually made my balls drop

LOL.

Ohhh too be 12 again

This does look unreal though what finish is going over it?

Yep, it does for sure. Going with a gloss on the top/headstock and matte/satin everywhere else.

Literally just stared at the computer for the last few minutes going....whaaaa...... 0.o

That's unbelievably gorgeous. I love one piece tops and everything about this is so perfect....

Yeah, I did the same when I got his text with the pictures...it turned out both different and better than I thought.

And everything on this is "one piece" excepting the pieces of ebony that bind the interior of the horns!

IMO should have gone with the Tiger BKP covers in retrospect. Would kill the blackness going on here though.

Well.

It seems as though I must replace my pants...
A moment please.

...

This. Just this.

[Kullerbytta]

Hory sheet... Can I buy my first custom from you?
Looks amazing, man!

Eh, the only other set I would have gone with was the Blackhawks. Anything would clash, as you said.

You do realize I didn't build this, right?

 

[DISTORT6]

Just amazing.
That's one helluva piece of wood. It just POPS!

 

[Konfyouzd]

That's RIDICULOUS...

 

[Watty]

Unfortunately there probably won't be any more updates until like Friday for finishing.

 

[Konfyouzd]

Week long drumroll...

The redwood on the headstock is a nice touch.

The redwood on the headstock is a nice touch.

Yeah, I was really pleased that the piece he picked had as much curl as it did. Really sets the body off as it was able to pull all three shades of brown instead of just one or two as it would have if it were less curly.

And I'm not sure if he's already done something with it or no, but technically, he's got another piece of redwood that came from this same billet....just saying.

Do you know exactly how that inlay was cut for his logo? It's very clean, looks nice.

Pretty sure it was like a jewelers' saw? Not sure, but I think that's what the general sort of tool is called...

(Based on the pictures he's provided me)

 

[darren]

My jaw actually dropped...

 

[ChrispyFinch]

Do you mean a Bengal Tiger?

Edit: Commence with the "THEEEEYYYYY'RRRREEEE GRRRRRRRRRREAT!" Jokes.

I had to with all this ebony.

That makes sense, how about the cavity in the neck itself for the inlay? It seems like such a tight fit. I suppose it's probably a pretty rudimentary process, but I've never seen it done, so sorry for the ignorance!
