Who doesn't? Half the people on the internet are tools.

Pretty funny for an old man Hollowwway!

Man, this run is just shaping up beautifully. I wish I'd saved up for a Vik before he was booked solid for the next couple years!

 

[Cremated]

Does Vik have a waiting list or what? I wouldn't mind putting my name on it, especially if it's going to be a couple years til my name comes up.

i am excite

 

[faceforward_007]

Me too... trying not to think about it, at all, lol

However, I miss our saturday updates, last one was May or something. He's busier than a two-peckered billy goat though, so its understandable.

A currently banned (yet again, for what seems to be the 50th time since the run started ) birdie told me that we might see pics soon.

Thru all this time I've been working on the build and at this point we're closing to finishing the wood works. Time to share some pics and I must say I have quite a few, so i'll be posting them in few updates to catch up with current state of things!

Shaping the back was pretty much similar to carving tops as here at ViK guitars we consider back shape, ergonomics and design just as important as front look.

Here comes swamp ash...

The best "heel" is no heel or at least as close to its absence as possible

 

[ViK-master]

I got to say Saviours' shape is one of favorite of the whole line, take a look to get why..

Ryan's

 

[ViK-master]

Then was mahogany's time

Mehtab's

 

[ViK-master]

Rest of the bodies are done as well. The pics and videos were accidentally deleted while I was transferring data my PC to Mac, hopefully I have'em saved at my old camera's memory card.

Meanwhile let's work on the necks!

[Winspear]

Looking sweet! Lucky guys Really digging Mehtabs Those headstocks look so huge like that

 

[metalmouth13]

What is the degree of the neck tilt on these guitars? Or is the neck pocket flat routed?

 

[kruneh]

These looks so good, really digging the Saviour shape!

 

[Stealthdjentstic]
