I wanted to chime in on here, have you played a guitar with the semi-scallops? I was unsure about them, but dammit if they aren't some of the most comfortable things I've ever played on.

I wasn't totally sold on any kind of scalloping until i tried the graduated scallops Brian cut by hand on one of his early builds. You don't even notice they're there. You just notice that there's less wood in the way when you want to dig in and bend on the high strings. Feels great.

This actually. I wasn't sure how to phrase it but yeah, that's spot on. You don't notice they're even there until you go to do some bending and there is just NO resistance.
It's really great.

Might be mine. I think there were a few redwood tops in this run.

If it's yours, you're a lucky, lucky man.
Also wanted to ask all of you on the run, how many of you opted for Brian's assymetrical neck carve?

Could we get a run specs thread in the proper thread?
It's not an option. It was on the original list of specs.

Oooh, got it. I wasn't sure if someone had asked for anything different is all.

That middle top is mine! Mwuahaha, can't wait to see that Ash once it's got some more colour.
Hadn't posted in a while - here's stuff. Photobucket recently changed their entire site which pretty much f'd up everything on my account. I'm going to move it over at some point soon - it'll break pretty much every post in this thread.

That flamey green 8-string in the front of the rack looks pretty sweet... not sure if you posted pics of it earlier in the thread, but more pics would be awesome! (and a nice rack that is, BTW 
)

I don't know what I want more, that sick blue 8 that you refinished like a million times or that avatar poster.
edit: definitely the 8

Been too long since an update so i'll do it proper. Better outdoor shots tomorrow.
The headstock is the same color as the body, the lights at the store are just really bright.

Just wanna chime in, I visited Brian's place yesterday and got to try some of his guitars finally. Very impressed, the few he had laying around were set up great, played super easy, high-quality work up close. We had a long chat about his business outlook and the way he operates, upfront and honest. I think anyone should feel safe with your money in his hands; he'll take care of you.
A+ dude!
