Official Bowes Guitars Thread - Works In Progress

[canuck brian]

Just to note - I FINALLY managed to get a damn case for Christian's guitar as my Canadian distributor didn't have any Gator XL cases in stock. Should be getting it out to him soon!

We also swapped the BK's in there for a pair of Lundgren M7's. Sounds pretty beastly.

 

[canuck brian]

Just a couple recent ones. I've got another 30 that i'll be uploading tomorrow.

 

[Fred the Shred]

Oh, the filthy things I'd do to these.

 

[canuck brian]

Ite. Update time. Christian got his guitar today. He likes. Here are pics i took before saying goodbye.

Foil in the neck cavity =

 

[SnowfaLL]

Long overdue pron

Nick's SLx7 - FINALLY!!!

Thats really growing on me; even the headstock lol.. I wonder what this would look like, with a purple quilt top and maple fretboard..

Also, what type of woods are on the neck on this one Brian?

Yeah, it's definitely a great playing guitar! It's absolutely effortless to play!

Brian, when are you thinking the next run is gonna be? I am so bummed I had to pass on this run... I want one of your guitars!

Brian, when are you thinking the next run is gonna be? I am so bummed I had to pass on this run... I want one of your guitars!

I'm hoping to get the current run done before the end of the year. I had originally given an October end date, but i've sadly blown way past that. I'm really thankful that I've got understanding clients.....

That being said, once hte current run is completely finished and out the door, I'm hoping to take on new orders in mid-January with a 5 month turnaround.

Nick - the woods in the neck of that guitar are zirocote and figured roasted maple.

Garrett's SLx7 is all done too, just waiting till the end of the week to score the case and ship the bugger out!

Gabriels SFLx7 is almost done too - just put all the hardware and electronics in - just need to wire, string and set up!

John's figured Redwood SLx7 is almost done - its just proving to be a total bastard to get the finish done.

 

[canuck brian]

Finished another one!

SFLx7 Slimline
26 inch scale, 25 frets
12 - 25 scalloped
1 piece figured ash cap on black limba body core
Figured ash on figured roasted maple headstock

This should give a good idea how thing this thing is (1.25 inches)

 

[Fred the Shred]

I'd tap that in very perverted, evil ways.

 

[Prydogga]

Diminished string skipping taps? Gold plated faucets perhaps?

[Durero]

Wow that looks sick Bryan!

 

[Larrikin666]

Very nice. If you ever decide to put a 4+3 headstock on a 7......I'm in trouble.

 

[mphsc]

Man, that's sweet.

[kruneh]

That´s rad, love the purple fillets in the neck.

 

[Larrikin666]

Oh boy. You will 100% be getting money from me.
